 ABSTRACT

Health is a state of mental. plhysical and social well-being in which discase

and infirmity are absent. Body Mass Index (BMI) may be a value derived from

the mass (weight) and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass
dividcd by the square ofthe body height, and is universally expressed in units

ofkg/m, resulting from mass kilograms and height in metres. In this study
in
we are focusing on the student's health based on body mass index of Dr.BRR
Government Degree College Jadcjerla from January 2021 to February 2021
The BMI (Body Mass 1Index) using the values like height and weight of a
group of malc and female students. BM (Body Mass Index) was calculated to
compare the health status of male and female students individually. We used
the python software to estimate the values of correlation coefficient and linear
regression. From this study we are representing that most of the students in
both male and female have normal weight according to their actual height and
also have normal height.

1. Introduction

The BMI is a convenient rule of thumb used to widely categorize

someone as underweight, regular weight, overweight or obese based on tissue
mass (muscle, fat and bone) and height. Commonly regular BMI levels are

inderweight (below 18.5kg/m), regular weight (18.five to 25), overweight

(25 to 30), and obese (over 30). BMis below20 and over 25 had been related
with better all-reasons mortality, with the chance growing with distance from
the 20-25 range.Obesity is described because the presence of a frame mass
index (BMI) 2 30 and is taken into consideration to be one of the quickest
developing health issues within the current world. A look at completed in the
United States amongst youngsters and children
elderly 6 - 19 years in 2001
2002 confirmed that 31.5% had been al hazard for obese or had been obese,
and 16.5% had been overweight in comparisonwith29,9% and 15.0%,
respectively in 1999 -2000. Another look at completed in England confirmed
that the superiority of obese and weight problems amongst boys elderly 7 -

 3. Analysis

Corelation analysis is a statistical method used to evaluate the strength of relationship between
two quantitative variables. A high correlation means that two or more variables have a strong

relationship with each other, while a weak correlation means that the variables are hardly related.
In other words, it is the process of studying the strength of that relationship with available

statisticaldata.

Correlation Coefficient and Linear Regression between Student's Height and Weight
Regression analysis is a set of statistical methods used for the estimation of relationships between
a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It can be utilized to assess the

strength of the relationship between variables and for modeling the future relationship between
them. This technique is strictly connected to the linear regression analysis that is a statistical
approach for modeling the association between a dependent variable, called response, and one or

more explanatory or independent variables. Regression analysis method is the most widely used
in multivariate statistical analysis. This paper not only introduces the correlation coeficient and

linear regression in height and weight and also

calculatesBMItocomparethehealthstatusofmaleandfemalestudentsindividually.
Data Analysis

The height and weight of the students were recorded in centimeters

and kilograms which were used to calculate the Body Mass Index ofcach
student. BMI is given by

BMI =
hem
BMI is attempting to estimate the amount of body fat mass of a person. It
 is an indicator of hcalth risk factor.

Results:

Body Mass Index reflects the health status of an individual. The BMI values
sensitize the people to
get their Body mass corrected. In the
present study, The Table I represents the height and weight for
the students in the academic
year 2021-22.

Averages BMI between the height and weight values are

25.1 to 49. BMI Below 16 is 25.1%,
BMI 16-17 is 25.6%, BMI 18-18.4 is 5.9% BMI 18.5-24.9 is 36% BMI 25 is 3.5%, BMI
26-29 is 2.95% BMI 30-34 is 0.98%
All the values of BMI are below 35, it means that the
height and weight for both male and female remains
healthy. A high BMI be
can a sign of too
much fat in the body, while a low BMI be of too little fat in the
can a sign body.The higher
BMIthe greater chances of developing certain serious
conditions, such as heart disease, high
blood pressure, breathing problems and diabetes. A very low BMI can also cause health
problems, including bone less, decreased immune function, anemia etc.The maintaining of the
healthy weight is so important for the overall health of the body and also helps to prevent and
control many of the diseases. Many people from overweight never develop the diabetes.
Statistically, obesity has been proven and to increase the risk of diabetes and also
sleeping
disordered breathing.

Conclusion
From this study, it is observed that the average height and weight of students were
normal. It is also observed that the average BMI of female students is a little bit higher than
male students. The averages of BMI of both male and female students are in the normal weight
limit. So it can be said that the students have a healthy lifestyle.
