 Introduction
• Both diet and physical activity play a critical role in controlling weight.

• As the unbalanced weight leads to obesity, we may need to be more active and prone
to eat healthy food to achieve or maintain a healthy weight.

• We are planning to study the statistical effect of diet and physical activities on weight.

• Physical activity can help maintain weight over time

• To lose weight and keep it off one should adjust their diet and reduce the amount of
calories they are eating and drinking.

• The purpose is also to show the vegetable and non-vegetable diet effect on weight.
For the vegetable diet, the study will be deeply conducted for the effect of eating habit
of breakfast and tiffin on weight.
 Motivation

• With excess weight a greater problem than ever, the question of whether
changing eating habits or exercise is more likely to produce weight loss is
vital. A new study confirms the overall research findings that dietary
change, specifically eating less fat, produces more weight loss than
changes in exercise. But it also shows that changes in one kind of behavior
may help promote changes in the other, especially among women.
 Sample Composition

 Tests Performed

• Here, we have shown tests performed on data collected from females(Effect of snacks
on weight).Similar tests are performed on other data collected from females as well as
males.

• Tests Performed:
a]One way ANOVA: This test is performed to check whether variability in
consumption of snacks affects on weight.Thus we have divided our data in 3 groups as:
Those who eat snacks(junk food) 0-1 times
Those who eat snacks 2-4 times
Those who eat more than 4 times
And we have taken weight as output parameter.

b]t-test-To verify that where the variability actually exists we have performed t-test on
different groups taking two groups together.
 Tests Performed Continued……..

c]Regression analysis-To find exact relation between weight and affecting parameter we have
performed linear regression which gives us intercept as well as line of regression.Similarly,value
of R2 gives us value indicating the dependance of this parameter on weight.
Regression analysis is also done to find combined effect of all above parameters simultaneously
on weight.

d]2 way ANOVA(Factorial Design):In this test we have merged data collected from males and
females .And we tried to see interaction between gender and any of the above parameter.That
is,whether gender and any of above factor is affecting simultaneously on weight or not.

• Different plots like boxplot ,interaction plot have been plotted to support our result.

 Conclusion
• After an analytical study of this, we come up with model in which we can estimate the factors affecting on weight.

• Exercise has certain amount of impact on weight in both females and males.

• As time of exercise is increased, reduction in weight has occurred. This is seen in line of regression which has negative
slope.
 
• Consumption of Non-Veg has impact on weight in males but not in females.
• But consumption of snacks has impact in both males and females.
• And as consumption of snacks increases weight also increases as seen in regression line.
• By considering regularity as another factor, we tried to see relationship between weight and number of times certain
individual misses tiffin. As tiffin, which is provided in hostel usually consists of snacks (oily food), we considered this
factor. And it has been found that, this parameter has an effect on weight. As seen in line of regression, if number of
missing tiffin is large then reduction in weight occurs.
 
• Thus, considering all these factors together, it has been seen that weight is dependant 23% among the all these
factors for females and males. Thus we succeeded in finding relationship between these parameters and weight. Of
course, there are many parameters which affect on weight, but here we considered only those parameters which
may affect on weight of student staying in hostel.
