Lifestyle and metabolic profiles in young and middle-aged adults

The metabolic state encompasses the body’s processes of storing and expending biochemical energy and their subsequent effects on biometric indicators and non‑communicable diseases (NCDs). It is closely linked to lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, physical activity, and recreational habits, all of which influence overall health and functional capacity. The rising global prevalence of metabolic syndrome underscores concerns regarding quality of life, disability, and longevity, particularly as metabolic dysregulation increasingly emerges early in adulthood. Evidence suggests that obesity—followed by hypertension and type 2 diabetes—will become leading contributors to disability, highlighting the importance of characterizing lifestyle patterns associated with metabolic risk in young adults.
This dataset includes information from 45 adults across eight domains: general data, biometric indicators, physical activity, feeding patterns, substance use, screen time, sleep quality, and reading habits. These data provide insight into modifiable lifestyle factors relevant to metabolic health and potential areas for intervention. Overall, the sample exhibited generally healthy conditions; however, elevated triglyceride levels and increased body mass index (with 60% classified as overweight or obese) were the primary biometric deviations. Approximately half of the participants reported good sleep quality and adequate physical activity, along with balanced eating and reading habits.
