Please note that results for the 2001/2002 and the 2002/2003 surveys at ages 5 and 14 do not include data from Scottish health boards and thus these values and, consequently, summaries for Great Britain are not given for those years.
Note: From 2004/2005, the 'older' children were examined at age 11.

Over the years, as responsibility for management of health care has been reorganised, these surveys have reported data summarised into different groupings. The consequence is that not all the areas listed in the drop-down menu apply to every survey. Those marked with an asterisk were used only up until the 2000/2001 survey at age 12.
