Obesity Intervention Trial Data on Emotional Eating

Data originates from an unblinded randomized controlled trial conducted in Montpellier, France, involving adults with a BMI > 30kg/m2. The study compares a 2-month therapeutic scuba-diving and mindfulness program against standard care, measuring changes in the emotional eating subscale of the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ-EE). The dataset is stored in an XLSX file sized at 33.5 KB.

Use Cases

• Analyze the change in the DEBQ-EE emotional eating subscale between the intervention and control groups to assess program efficacy.
• Compare outcomes for participants with a BMI > 30kg/m2 assigned to the therapeutic scuba-diving protocol versus standard care.
• Investigate the relationship between the mindfulness exercises component and reported emotional eating scores.

Strengths

• Data is from a formal randomized controlled trial with a specified protocol.
• Includes a primary clinical outcome measure (DEBQ-EE emotional eating subscale).
• Dataset has a clear license (CC BY 4.0) for reuse.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 33.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a low row count.
• Geographic coverage is limited to a single community setting in Montpellier, France.
• Specific sample size (rows) and column structure are unknown, limiting analytical planning.
