A random sample of 200 students was selected from the Delta State Polytechnic, Otefe-Oghara whose BMI was examined through data on the weight, height, age and waist circumference. The result of the study revealed that most of the students’ BMI were averagely overweighted. This implies that most of the students examined have abnormal BMI (i.e, BMI 24.9). The result also shows that, 37% of the students were overweight and about 43% were obese and extremely obese. Also, the result also shows that 45% of the students are at basic risk level, 27% are at a high risk while 6% of the students are at a very high risk (extreme risk) of experiencing type 2 diabetes, stroke or even hypertension. The study, therefore, concludes based on the findings that most individuals in our society are in health danger but lacks awareness. They seem to be physically fine but their health status may indicate otherwise. The study also concludes that BMI is an effective tool in examining health status, especially when examined with the help of waist circumference. Most common problems associated with abnormal BMI include stroke (cardiovascular disease), hypertension and type 2 diabetes. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Mathematics and Statistics project topics and materials you might be interested in»Statistical Quality Control of Premier Soap in Soap Manufacturing Industry ( A Case Study of PZ Cusson PLC Aba Abia State)»Statistical analysis of students’ height and weight (case study of federal polytechnic Nekede, Owerri, Imo state) »Statistical analysis of unemployment rate among age groups and geographical locations in Nigeria»Statistical analysis of the problems associated with skill acquisition in Nigeria (a case study of male tailors in Imo state)»Application of linear programming technique to profit maximization in the production of soap (a case study of Promotex industrial and chemical company limited, Nnewi, Anambra state) »Statistical analysis of foster care and adoption rate in Abia state (a case study of motherless babies home Ahiaeke, Umuahia)»Determination of nutritional status of children within the ages of four (4) to ten (10) years using their body mass index (BMI)»Time series analysis on marriage registration in Ilorin, Kwara state»Application of multiple queuing model in evaluating the efficiency of service in UBA bank»Statistical analysis on impact of parental hood on academic performance»Econometrics analysis of gross national income on consumption expenditure of federal republic of Nigeria between (2011)»Determinant of foreign direct investment in Nigeria and its effect on Nigerian economy: an empirical analysis»Statistical analysis of factors affecting crime in Imo state»Statistical study of the queuing pattern at the antinatal division of Federal Medical Center FMC Owerri Imo state»A statistical analysis of coal production in Nigeria - a case study of Nigeria coal corporation from 2000-2009
