| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| At baseline, a comprehensive set of variables will be assessed, all of which have been associated with overweight and obesity in previous empirical studies. These include biomedical variables (e.g., ghrelin and leptin), psychological variables (e.g., depressive symptoms), person characteristics (e.g., age), environmental variables (e.g., neighbourhood safety) and behavioural variables (e.g., usual eating habits). It In addition, we will collect time-series data on (un)healthy eating and physical (in)activity, and predictors of these behaviours (e.g., emotions) in daily life, both at baseline and after intervention. | — |
