Obesity Prediction

Obesity Prediction

Overview

The Obesity Prediction project aims to develop predictive models to assess the likelihood of an individual developing obesity based on various factors such as demographics, lifestyle, genetics, and medical history. By leveraging machine learning techniques and analyzing large datasets, the project seeks to identify patterns and risk factors associated with obesity.

Features

  • Data Collection: Utilize diverse datasets containing information on demographics, lifestyle factors, genetic markers, and medical history related to obesity.
  • Data Preprocessing: Clean, preprocess, and transform the raw data to make it suitable for model training.
  • Model Development: Implement machine learning algorithms such as logistic regression, random forests, and neural networks to build predictive models.
  • Evaluation: Evaluate model performance using appropriate metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
  • Deployment: Deploy the trained models in real-world scenarios to assess the obesity risk of individuals and provide personalized recommendations for prevention and intervention.
