Description

The dataset contains the data extracted from the studies included in the systematic review entitled "Tracking of serum lipid and lipoprotein levels from childhood and adolescence to adulthood: Systematic review and meta-analysis". Data was extracted from original empirical research journal articles published in MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science (Core Collection), or Google Scholar databases before April 2022 that measured tracking of lipids from childhood or adolescence (defined as < 18 years of age) to adulthood (aged ≥ 18 years) using correlation coefficients or tracking coefficients. The dataset contains the following information extracted from each study: study name, study design, country where data were collected, type of lipid, effect estimate, tracking effect measure, variables used for adjustment (if any), sample size (total and by sex), sex, ethnicity (if stratified by ethnicity), age at baseline, length of follow-up, calendar years at baseline and follow-up, fasting status at baseline and follow-up as defined by the authors, number of measurements used to derive levels at baseline and follow-up, and measurement methods (e.g., assay, calculations). Analysis of the data is complete and the findings will be published in a scientific journal. The protocol of the systematic review is published in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, PROSPERO (protocol ID: CRD42020208859).
