Dietary analysis of adults with Charcot Marie tooth disease

25 CMT and 27 age-matched control participants completed 3-day food diaries and online surveys. The dataset compares diet quality, nutrient intake, and associations with fatigue and mobility between the groups, authored by Christopher Morse and last updated in June 2026. Data is stored in an XLSX file sized 66.4 KB.

Use Cases

• Compare nutrient sufficiency between patient and control groups based on Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) targets.
• Analyze the relationship between diet quality (using HEI-2020 and MNI scores) and reported fatigue severity.
• Investigate the caloric contribution of ultra-processed foods in a neurological disease population.
• Correlate dietary patterns with quality of life and mobility survey outcomes.

Strengths

• Includes data from 52 total participants (25 CMT, 27 controls) with age-matching.
• Diet assessed using multiple validated metrics: RDI, MyNutritionIndex (MNI), HEI-2020, and ultra-processed food intake.
• Links dietary data to survey outcomes for fatigue, quality of life, and mobility.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset's 66.4 KB size indicates a limited scope, suitable for preliminary analysis but not large-scale modeling.
