Supplementary Material for: Beyond the scale: health-related quality of life and weight lo

Data from 1848 participants in a 12-month digital lifestyle intervention, the Healthy Weight Coaching program, collected between baseline and 12 months. The dataset includes self-reported weight, height, waist circumference, and RAND-36 health-related quality of life scores across eight domains. It was authored by figshare admin karger and last updated on 2026-05-07.

Use Cases

• Predict weight loss outcomes based on baseline health-related quality of life scores mentioned in the description
• Cluster patient subgroups based on patterns in RAND-36 domain scores as described
• Analyze associations between specific weight loss percentages and improvements in general health or physical functioning scores
• Model dropout risk using baseline scores in role limitations, general health, and vitality as predictors

Strengths

• Includes data from 1848 participants, providing a substantial sample size for analysis
• Longitudinal design with measurements at baseline, 6 months, and 12 months
• Uses the validated RAND-36 instrument to assess eight distinct health-related quality of life domains
• Reports specific associations, such as each 5% weight loss corresponding to a 3.8-point increase in general health

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect bias inherent to the specific digital program and its participant pool
