Trying to figure if I am doing this write. The basics is does knowledge about prevention on obesity truly have effect on someone being obese?
1.The dependent variable for this evaluation is Obesity
2.The dependent variable can be though of as a continuous variable by saying, “Obesity can be measured by being overweight by at least 40 pounds.
3.The dependent variable can be thought of as a categorical variable saying, “Whether or not the person is obese.”
4.The most important independent variable for my evaluation is knowledge about prevention of obesity.
5.The independent variable can be thought of a categorical variable by saying, “Whether or not a person taken 4 or more seminars about prevention of obesity.
6.The other independent control variables are age (adults 18+) and geographic location (Tennessee).
7.When controlling for age and geographic location, what effect does the knowledge about prevention of obesity have on he/she being obese?
here are two hypothesis: 8.When controlling for age and geographic location, people who has taken at 4 or more seminars on prevention obesity are more likely to be obese than a person who has taken less than 4 seminars on prevention of obesity.
9.When controlling for age and geographic location, when a person who goes to 4 or more seminars on obesity prevention has a lower BMI than a person who goes to less than 4 seminars on obesity prevention.
does it look right though what i got?

i know with education their can be prevention… but yet i see all these teenagers on their iphones and ipods drinking on Monsters and munching on their Doritos makes me feel skeptical about their futures BMI

When controlling for age and geographic location, when a person who goes to 4 or more seminars on obesity prevention has a lower BMI than a person who goes to less than 4 seminars on obesity prevention.

My total cholesterol went from 150 to 188 in 14 months. I’m 33, healthy–BMI of 21, regular exercise, I almost never eat red meat and my daily cholesterol intake is always less than 50% of the RDA. No family hx of high cholesterol. What might have caused this increase?

I’m a vegetarian, and I’ve never had any health issues. All my nutrients are at the healthy level, and I am right in my BMI. Could a meat-based diet be the cause of obesity? Or could it simply be that convience has overthrown a healthy meal with the fast food industry? What is your opinion?
