2.2. Young Adults’ Eating and Activity for the Health Sample

Data on 1401 young adults from 13 universities included dietary attitudes and intake, and weight status obtained from the YEAH baseline data [44]. A convenience sample of full-time, 18–24-year-old students were recruited (6277 responded, 3334 eligible (52%), 1639 participated in YEAH (49%); difference in this study were due to missing data). Participants were excluded from YEAH if they were an exercise, nutrition, or health major; had a body mass index (BMI) ≤18.5 kg/m²; or a medical diet-and/or activity-related restriction [44,45]. Data were collected using a web-based survey and in-person physical assessments.
