Problem Statement

• Using data set, FINALPRJ.sas7dbat:

• Construct a data dictionary / codebook
• Complete a table that describes participants
• Write SAS program to address each question and task
• Analyze programming output
Table 1. Health Demographic Information for Participants Age
20+ in the ‘Other Race – Including Multi-Racial’ Category
Analysis
Is There a Correlation Between BMI and Age?

• Null hypothesis: there is no correlation between BMI

and Age
• Alternative hypothesis: there is a correlation
between BMI and Age

• P > 0.05, therefore, we fail to reject the null

hypothesis which gives evidence there is no
correlation between BMI and Age
SAS ‘Proc Corr’ Output:
Correlation of MBI and Age
Is There a Linear Relationship Between BMI and
Age?
• Null hypothesis: there is no linear relationship between
BMI and Age
• Alternative hypothesis: there is a linear relationship
between BMI and Age

• P > 0.05,therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis

which gives evidence there is no statistically significant
linear relationship between BMI and Age
SAS ‘Proc Reg’ Output:
BMI and Age Relationship
Is Gender Associated with BMI Category?
• Null hypothesis: gender is not associated with BMI
categories
• Alternative hypothesis: gender is associated with
BMI categories
• P < 0.05, therefore, we reject the null hypothesis
which gives evidence there is statistically significant
association between gender and BMI category
SAS ‘Proc Freq’ Output:
Association of Gender with BMI category
Is Age Group Associated with BMI Category?

• Null hypothesis: Age Group is not associated with

BMI Categories
• Alternative hypothesis: Age Group is associated
with BMI Categories

• P < 0.05, therefore, we reject the null hypothesis

which gives evidence there is statistically significant
association between Age Group and BMI Category
SAS ‘Proc Corr’ Output:
Association of age and BMI category
Among Those Who are Overweight or Obese, What
Percentage had a Doctor Tell Them to Lose Weight?

• Percentage overweight that doctor told to lose

weight = 24.03%

• Percentage obese that doctor told to lose

weight = 41.38%
SAS ‘Proc Freq’ Output:
Percent Doctor Told to Lose Weight
Is BMI Category Associated With a Doctor Telling
the Respondent to Lose Weight?
• Null hypothesis: BMI category is not associated with
doctor telling respondent to lose weight
• Alternative hypothesis: BMI category is associated
with doctor telling respondent to lose weight

• P < 0.05, therefore, we reject the null hypothesis

which gives evidence there is statistically significant
association between BMI Categories and doctor
telling respondent to lose weight
SAS ‘Proc Corr’ Output:
Association of BMI category with Doctor Advising to
Lose Weight
Is Having a Doctor Telling the Respondent to Lose
Weight Associated With(1)Now Controlling Weight,
(2)Increasing Exercise,(3)Reducing Fat in Diet
• Null hypothesis:(1)Doctor telling respondent to lose weight is not
associated with now controlling weight(2)Doctor telling respondent
to lose weight is not associated with increasing exercise(3)Doctor
telling respondent to lose weight is not associated with reducing fat
• Alternative hypothesis:(1)Doctor telling respondent to lose weight
is associated with now controlling weight(2)Doctor telling
respondent to lose weight is associated with increasing
exercise(3)Doctor telling respondent to lose weight is associated
with reducing fat
SAS ‘Proc Freq’ Output:
Association of Doctor’s Advise on Now Controlling Weight

• (1) P > 0.05, therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis which gives
evidence there is no statistically significant association between doctor telling
respondent to lose weight and now controlling weight
SAS ‘Proc Freq’ Output:
Association of Doctor’s Advise on Increasing Exercise

• (2) P > 0.05,therefore, we fail to reject the null hypothesis which gives
evidence there is no statistically significant association between doctor telling
respondent to lose weight and increasing exercise
SAS ‘Proc Freq’ Output:
Association of Doctor’s Advise on Reducing Fat in Diet

• (3) P < 0.05, therefore, we reject the null hypothesis gives evidence there is a
statistically significant association between doctor telling respondent to lose
weight and reducing fat
Overall, does a doctor telling the respondent to lose
weight appear to impact the respondent’s behavior, base
don the 3 outcomes listed in the previous question?
• Null hypothesis: The odds ratio is constant across
comparison tables
• Alternative hypothesis: The odds ratio is not constant
across comparison tables

• PBreslow-Day = 0.0071, therefore, we reject the null which

gives evidence that the doctor telling the respondent to
lose weight does not appear to impact the overall
respondents behavior based on these 3 outcomes
SAS ‘Proc Freq’ Output:
Impact of Doctor’s Advice on 3 Listed Outcomes
SAS ‘Proc Reg’ Output:
Linear Regression Best Fit Model

• The final model shows that including the variables RIAGENDR, DMDEDUC2,
DMDBORN4, MARSTAT, INDFMPIR, MCQ300C and MCQ365A yields the
highest R-squared value and has the most impact on the dependent variable,
BMI.
Describe What the Final Model Tells You About
this Relationship?
• PWald = 0.0003, therefore, this is a significant model overall.

• When controlling for gender and education, those in age group 1

are 1.878 times more likely to be obese than those in age group 3
• When controlling for gender and age group those in education level
4 are possibly 2.247 times more likely to be obese than those in
level 1
• This ratio is only moderately significant as the CI approaches 1
