Abstract
We present a dataset related to the teenagers and their physical activity and nutrition habits from two schools of Covilhã and Fundão municipalities (Portugal). It is related to the initial questionnaire distributed by the mobile application named CoviHealth. This mobile application was distributed to twenty-six individuals aged between 13 and 18 years old with different nutrition and physical activity habits. This paper describes the data acquired through the filling of the data by the teenagers, which was available at the first utilization of the mobile application. The data collected is related to anthropometric values, physical activity, diet, and habits. It was statistically processed to analyze the current practices of the teenagers from the different municipalities, verifying that, in average, the teenagers reported a Body Mass Index (BMI) Percentile equals to 59.19 that corresponds to a normal state, a consumption of only one piece of fruit or vegetables a day, a practice of physical exercise at least 2 to 3 times a week between 1 and 2 hours, and a number of sleeping hours equals to 8.12 hours.
