Prediction Of Body Fat Percentage Based On Anthropometric Measurements Using Data Mining Approach, Hamsa Amro, Prof. Mohammed Awad

Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث

In recent years, heart disease, diabetes, and some types of cancers have been reported as some main causes of death in most countries of the world, and obesity, which is often attributed to excess body fat, is one of the most common risk factors for these diseases. To make the vast amounts of data produced by health care information systems useful to the potential, the researchers applied knowledge discovery through predictive modeling. This study used anthropometric measurements as input data to different data mining techniques to predict body fat percentage. Fisher’s Method of Scoring was used to select the most …
