foods: Food and Obesity in 15 European Countries

Description

This data set contains scores for the amount of use of 15 different food types in 15 European countries, and information of obesity (BMI exceeding 30 kg/m^2) in these countries.

Usage

foods

Format

A data frame with 15 observations (rows) and 17 variables (columns).

	Column name	Data type	Description	Values
[,1]	Country	factor	15 countries from Europe	(Austria...Switzerland)
[,2]	BMI.30	numeric	Percentage of people with BMI > 30	(19.5 - 27.8)

The remaining columns, foods[, 3:17], are the food variables. A score between 0 and 100 gives the amount of use for each food type in the given country.

Details

It was of interest to study how the composition of food co-varies between the countries, and if food consumption in some way can predict obesity as measured by BMI.30.
