03 METHODS USED 01 02 DATA OVERVIEW TABLE OF CONTENTS RESEARCH OVERVIEW 04 DATA ANALYSIS 05 RESULTS & IMPLICATIONS 2
Research Overview For our research project we are interested in seeing if there are factors that are more important in determining whether a person will suffer from a stroke or heart disease in their lifetime. We are wanting to take variables that correlate to the Social Determinants of Health and see what variables play a bigger role in determining these major health issues. 3
Data Overview Data set contains over 500 columns and over 2 million rows. BRFSS Data Set spanning from 2016-2020 Some of the fields contain information about the household, current health conditions, behaviors, and demographics 4
Tools & Research Methods Used Graph Builder Fit Model JMP 5
Factors Considered Sex Age Race 6
Final By Variable Selection After testing all By variables (Sex, Age, Race) we determined the best By variable to test against is Sex. This decision was made because the variable Sex had the most responses. 7
Primary Variables Used Income Housing Education Mental Health Health Coverage Overall General Health Smoking status Diabetes State Divorce Medical Cost 8

We found that the most important variables in determining whether or not a person will have heart disease is general health, diabetes, smoking, & if their parents are divorced for males. While for females, it is general health, diabetes, smoking, & income. Conclusions We found that to determine if a person will suffer from both heart disease & stroke, the most important variables in determining this are general health, diabetes, income, if they smoke and their education. We found that the most important variables in determining whether or not a person will suffer from a stroke is diabetes, general health, & education for females. While for males, the variables are diabetes, general health, and health insurance. 15
Implications 01 02 03 To help prevent heart disease, people should improve their general health, monitor their diabetes, and decrease their nicotine use.. To help prevent stroke, people should improve their general health, monitor their diabetes, and think about improving their health care plan. Overall, people should focus on their general health to prevent heart disease and stroke.
