Body Mass Index is treated as an indicator to the case of pre-obesity and obesity. BMI values for pre-obesity and obesity are different. The range of BMI for pre-obesity is 25.00–29.99 while for obesity it is 30.00 or above. There is just a mere difference of 0.01 between 29.99 and 30.00. This little difference may be due to either wrong measurement in BMI or wrong diagnosis by doctor. But this difference...
Data preprocessing is applied in many of the clustering or classification problem to produce output with less processing time and less number of features. Fuzzy Cognitive Maps is a relatively new domain in the field of artificial Intelligence. For some problem like the Obesity the number of inputs can vary enormously. Hence the Dimensionality Reduction technique is applied and the simulations are...
Co-design is a process for creating interventions with representative participants of the target group. The co-design process ensures that the technologies are aligned with people's needs and removes the designer subjectivity. This paper discusses the co-design methodology and evaluation of the Pro-CEE serious game, an innovative intervention which is aimed to raise the awareness of prostate cancer...
Cancer is a term used for a disease in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues. Obesity is an overnutrition disease that is associated with increased risks of many types of cancers. The knowledge of this medical domain is highly required to be represented with its concepts, properties and types of association using ontologies to provide the biomedical community...
Childhood obesity is a serious health problem that has adverse and long-lasting consequences for individuals, families, and communities. The magnitude of the problem has increased dramatically during the last three decades and, despite some indications of a plateau in this growth, the numbers remain stubbornly high. The nature of child obesity data is very complicated with different factors dependent...
A fuzzy medical diagnostic decision system for helping support to evaluate patients with anginal chest pain and obesity clinical condition is proposed in this paper. Such an approach is based on the Braunwald symptomatic classification, the fuzzy set theory and fuzzy logic, and a risk obesity factor determined by a simplified Fuzzy Body Mass Index (FBMI). The fuzzy Braunwald symptomatic classification...
Obesity and its related co-morbidities are chronic diseases with significant associated healthcare cost. Although many procedures, diets and medications have been introduced to induce weight loss, Bariatric surgery has been established as the most effective therapy for morbid obesity. However, the outcome of such surgeries is unpredictable. Bariatric Surgery Information Systems (BSIS) can be used...
Fatty liver disease(FLD) is one of the most frequently encountered liver disease and could progress to steatohepatitis, cirrhosis and liver failure. The staffs in university is a kind of special occupational group whose work is primarily mental work. We analysed the physical examination data of 500 university staffs in Changchun city in 2010, the incidence of fatty liver disease among university staffs...
Obesity is according to WHO one of the greatest health challenges of our time. The aim of the pilot project was to investigate the weight loss efficacy and the cost of individual dietetic internet-based consultations in a Danish medical centre in combination with an internet community. A total of 46 obese patients in general practice were offered participation in a cohort study during May 15th to...
