Predicting Increased Blood Pressure Using Machine Learning

Abstract: The present study investigates the prediction of increased blood pressure by body mass index (BMI), waist (WC) and hip circumference (HC), and waist hip ratio (WHR) using a machine learning technique named classification tree. Data were collected from 400 college students (56.3% women) from 16 to 63 years old. Fifteen trees were calculated in the training group for each sex, using different numbers and combinations of predictors. The result shows that for women BMI, WC, and WHR are the combination that produce… Show more

“…Among the computational methods used for developing models of disease progression and therapy effects, the following principal groups of methods can be distinguished: -regression methods [10,17,24,25] -supervised learning methods [10,12,15,17] -unsupervised learning methods [11,13] -Markov Decision Process (MDP)-based methods [16,23] -Monte-Carlo methods [18] The first group of methods, i.e. regression-based prediction, roughly speaking relies on fitting a multidimensional function h(x), called a hypothesis, onto a given dataset, so that its values are as close as possible to the values in the dataset within a specific function form.…”

“…In this paper we use the time window model on the two features sleep time and blood pressure. It increases the accuracy of the classification [5]. The prediction steps are as follows: 1) Establish a set of formatted data files and read data from files.…”

“…Fat people, with BMI exceeding 30 kg/mm 2 , have higher probability in gaining high blood pressure (hypertension) because their hearts need to provide more nutrients and oxygen to body tissues. Golino et al [11] carried out a study to predict the blood pressure by machine learning method and gave a conclusion that body mass index, waist circumference, and waist-hip ratio have the correlated relationship with the heart diseases, such as hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.…”
