Motivation:

Our project, titled "Diabetes Risk Factors," was driven by the urgent need to address the diabetes epidemic in India, reduce premature mortality, and alleviate associated economic and social burdens. Through this EDA project, we aimed to generate valuable insights to inform and enhance diabetes prevention and management strategies, supporting the global pursuit of good health and well-being for all.

Motivated by the goal of reducing the impact of diabetes, a major non-communicable disease, our exploratory data analysis focused on identifying and understanding key risk factors. Our analysis provided crucial insights to drive progress in prevention, treatment, and care, ultimately improving health outcomes and well-being for millions worldwide.

We sought to provide insights to healthcare professionals and policymakers, enabling the development of targeted prevention and early intervention programs. Utilizing the Diabetes dataset, our project contributed towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3 (SDG 3) by providing actionable, data-driven insights to reduce premature mortality from diabetes.
