Lifelines includes predominantly health-related variables. A large portion of those variables are aimed to assess whether participants have particular diseases and/or (undiagnosed) symptoms, via self-report questionnaires.
Variables that more neutrally assess the (measured and/or self-reported) physical characteristics of participants, independent of specific diseases and symptoms, can be found here.
