German term or phrase: verknüpfbare Daten
Hier werden erstmalig bundesweit repräsentative, mit einer Vielzahl von Gesundheitsparametern verknüpfbare Daten zu Gewalterfahrungen und Einstellungen zu Gewalt von Kindern und Jugendlichen erfasst.

This is about a German study of the health of young people.
I don't think the queried phrase refers to "linkable" data, in the sense of a link across the Internet, but rather to data that can be combined or correlated. I found "conjunct data," but am not sure whether that is the correct term.

TIA!

correlatable data
Explanation:
One of my uni subjects was statistics in psychology but that was a long time ago, so I checked. Hope you find these useful.

I went with "data that can be correlated with..." Actually, all the replies seem suitable. Unless there is one specific term that is used in statistics jargon, I think they would all serve well, and the meaning is more or less the same. But correlation seems to fit the context just a bit better. Thanks to all.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks, Maurite. I'm not sure. The concept is right, I think. But only 623 Google hits for "correlatable data," and many are translated from foreign languages. Maybe I should use it and stop agonizing over it. But I'll see if any other suggestions come in.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  TonyTK: I know I'm splitting hairs, but while I lke your "correlatable" I'm not sure that it's suitable for the sentence in question ("... mit einer Vielzahl von Gesundheitsparametern verknüpfbar ..."). We probably need a rephrase.

Explanation:
In your context, you may want to use ""data that can be integrated with", perhaps?

data that can be linked


Explanation:
I wouldn't be too quick to reject things to do with "link" (even though, as you rightly say, this is nothing to do with internet links - but then "link" was around as a word long before the internet appeared).

Why not the literal "data on experiences of violence that can be linked with a large number of health parameters"?. To guess at the sort of thing that might be meant, you might have "data on experiences of violence" (e.g. the number of women reporting that they have been struck by a partner) and information on health parameters (e.g. the number of people given prescriptions for tranquilizers) and the form in which the data is available enables you to link the two (i.e. to tell how many abused women request tranquilizers) - I could go with "link" for that.
