| Additional data | Proportion of participants who deemed this information essential (%; n=16) | When not deemed essential a | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scientific priority (median; 1=low; 5=high) | Feasibility of harmonization (median; 1=low; 5=high) | ||
| Basic socio-demographic data such as age, sex, race/ethnicity, country, and socio-economic status (i.e. income, education, employment status) | 94% | / | / |
| Anthropometric data (i.e. weight, height, waist circumference) | 88% | 4 (n=1) | 4 (n=1) |
| Health status data (i.e. diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer) | 75% | 4 (n=1) | 4 (n=1) |

Questions on scientific priority and feasibility of harmonization were only asked if the information was deemed non-essential. These latter two questions were not compulsory: the lower n’s for some responses indicate the degree of missing data.
