Data from Two-year Randomized Controlled Study on Daily Self-weighing Among Workplace Employees in Ithaca, NY, 2017-2019

<p>To examine the efficacy of daily self-weighing to prevent age-related weight gain among university employees, in this two-year randomized controlled trial among 286 employees of a single university, participants were randomized to receive a blue-tooth enabled scale and daily self-weigh (intervention group) or a no-contact control group. Participants in the intervention received automated reminder emails if they did not weigh consecutively for three or more days. Height and weight were measured for all participants at baseline and two-year follow-up. The primary outcome was weight change over the two years.</p>
<p>This dataset includes the survey data and weight measurements of the participants at both the enrollment and end-of-study sessions.</p>
