1.To understand the impact of diabetes status on HbA1c levels within each gender, consider a study investigating how diabetic and non-diabetic individuals fare in terms of their glycemic control.
To answer this question we plot a box plot. The box plot shows HbA1c levels segmented by gender (Female, Male, Other) and diabetes status (0 for non-diabetic, 1 for diabetic). Across all genders, individuals with diabetes (status 1) have higher median HbA1c levels compared to non-diabetics (status 0), indicating poorer glycemic control. The gender having HbA1c level greater than 6.5% have diabetes.
2. We want to uncover how the prevalence of heart disease differs between individuals who have hypertension and those who do not. By examining these two groups, the hypothesis seeks to determine whether hypertension significantly increases the likelihood of developing heart disease, highlighting the potential risks associated with high blood pressure.
The bar graph illustrates the prevalence of heart disease among individuals with and without hypertension. It reveals that individuals with hypertension have a significantly higher prevalence of heart disease, around 12%, compared to those without hypertension, who have a prevalence of approximately 3%. This suggests that hypertension is strongly associated with an increased risk of developing heart disease.
3. Envision a journey through life where individuals of all ages come together. As they progress from youth to old age, we observe the patterns of hypertension emerging among them. This narrative uncovers how the incidence of high blood pressure shifts with age, revealing the stages of life most impacted by this condition.
The graph titled “Variation of Hypertension with Age” shows a positive correlation between age and the proportion of individuals with hypertension. As age increases, the likelihood of having hypertension also rises. Notably, this trend becomes more pronounced after middle age (around 40 years), indicating that older populations are at higher risk for hypertension. The y-axis represents the proportion of hypertension, while the x-axis represents age. The steeper increase in hypertension prevalence beyond middle age underscores the importance of monitoring blood pressure as people get older.
4. After checking the previous hypothesis, its inference and the correlation matrix we decided to check the proportion of individuals with Diabetes and Hypertension with different age groups.
The line plot shows if there's an increasing trend of diabetes with hypertension as age increases. A clear upward trend indicates higher risk in older age groups. Identifying age groups where the proportion spikes can help in designing age-specific health interventions and policies. Understanding this relationship helps in healthcare planning and resource allocation, ensuring that older populations receive appropriate screening and preventive care.
