Bahrami: Body Mass Index and Steatosis Data

In LVMMCOR: A Latent Variable Model for Mixed Continuous and Ordinal Responses

Description

The medical data set is obtained from an observational study in the Taleghani hospital in Tehran. These data record the Steatosis and BMI for 15 diabetic patients. Steatosis is the process describing the abnormal retention of lipids within a cell. It reflects an impair of the normal process of synthesis and breakdown of triglyceride fat. Excess lipid accumulates in vescles that displace the cytoplasm. BMI is a statistical measure of the weight of body mass index. A person scaled height body mass index may be accurately calculated using any of the formulas such as BMI=w/H^2 where W is weight and H is height. As explanatory variable for both Steatosis and BMI, the systolic blood pressure (SBP) is defined as the peak pressure in the arteries, which occurs near the beginning of the cardiac cycle. The normal rate, in adult humans, for systolic is near but less than 120 mmHg. As another explanatory variable, duration of diabet is an amount of time or a particular time interval which a person take diabet (a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood suger and other signs). Two more explanatory variables are age and gender.
