Supplementary Data for a Study on Appetite, Body Composition, and Metabolic Rate

130 participants completed assessments of resting metabolic rate, body composition, energy intake, and appetite-related measures. The data supports a 2026 study finding resting metabolic rate is a key driver of energy intake, moderated by factors like sex and BMI.

Use Cases

• Analyzing associations between body composition and appetite-related hormones like peptide-YY and leptin.
• Investigating moderating effects of age, sex, BMI, and smoking on the relationship between resting metabolic rate and energy intake.
• Studying links between fat mass, fat-free mass, and hedonic components of appetite such as food cravings and taste perception.

Strengths

• Data includes 130 participants with detailed physiological and behavioral measurements.
• Assessments cover multiple domains: indirect calorimetry for RMR, air-displacement plethysmography for body composition, and validated questionnaires for appetite and food reward.
• The dataset is associated with a peer-reviewed study with a detailed abstract and clear methodology.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is small, at 198.3 KB, indicating limited scope.
