Title "Exploring Factors Influencing Dietary Lifestyles in the UK: A Quantitative Analysis of BMI and Lifestyle Variables" Introduction • Background: The UK faces a growing health concern due to rising obesity rates among adults and children. Understanding dietary habits and their impact on BMI is crucial for effective interventions. • Objective: To identify factors influencing dietary lifestyles and assess their relationship with BMI in a diverse population. Methodology • Dataset: Consumer Healthy Eating and Wellbeing (CHEW) Dataset, UK. • Variables Analyzed: BMI, Age, Gender, Ethnicity, Dietary Patterns, Meal Frequency, Health Considerations. • Statistical Tools: Correlation, ANOVA, and descriptive analysis. Results Age does influence BMI to some extent, with middle-aged individuals showing more variability in BMI values, potentially due to lifestyle and metabolic changes over time. Dietary patterns impact BMI significantly, with plant-based diets being associated with lower BMI values. This could be due to higher fiber intake and lower calorie density in vegetarian and vegan diets. Key Findings 1. Age and BMI: o Correlation: r=r= (Value from analysis), p=p= (Significance). o Observed Relationship: BMI tends to increase with age. o Visualization: Scatter plot. 2. BMI Across Diet Groups: o ANOVA results: F=F= (Value), p=p= (Significance). o Vegetarians and vegans exhibited lower BMI on average. o Visualization: Boxplot. 3. Gender and BMI: o Differences observed between males and females in BMI distribution. o Visualization: Boxplot. 4. Ethnicity and BMI: o Significant BMI variations across ethnic groups. o Visualization: Boxplot. 5. Health Consideration and BMI: o Individuals considering health in food choices displayed lower BMI. o Visualization: Boxplot. 6. Frequency of Eating Out vs. Diet Perception: o Frequent eating out was associated with perceiving diets as less healthy. o Visualization: Grouped bar chart. Conclusion • Summary: Factors such as age, diet type, gender, ethnicity, and health-conscious behavior significantly influence BMI and dietary lifestyles. • Implications: These findings underline the importance of tailored public health interventions promoting balanced diets and active lifestyles.
