Dataset: The influence of chronotype on the body mass index of US college students

This data (Age, MEQ, BMI) is from 384 university students enrolled in health and physical exercise (HPE) courses at a mid-sized university in the West South Central United States. The data are from a two-semester period (Fall 2019 & Spring 2020) and were collated and de-identified by members of the institutional research team before being given to the research team for analysis. This study does not include data from students who opted out (the default option), students with BMI values below 14.5 kg·m-2 or above 49.4 kg·m-2, and students whose age was below 16 or above 24.
