A study on Quality of Life in Indian adults – Outcomes and role of nutrition

Understanding factors influencing the Quality of Life (QoL) of people has been a subject of growing interest, as measurement of QoL includes subjective dimensions of general well-being of individuals. The present study is aimed at assessing the QoL as perceived by Indian adults and arriving at a cutoff for categorizing QoL. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on a stratified sample of 2762 adults in 8 cities representing 4 geographical zones of India - North, South, East and West. WHOQoL-BREF was self-administered to measure QoL while a structured questionnaire and an app-based 24-hr diet recall were used to assess perceptions and practices about health and nutrition that affect QoL. The QoL scores were computed in accordance with WHO manual and cutoff value was arrived based on percentage mean score to categorize respondents as having poor and good QoL. Descriptive statistics were reported as mean, standard deviation, percentage for the scores and other variables, while a two-sample t-test was performed to compare the QoL scores for independent variables. The QoL percentage mean score of 68.5 for the sample population was obtained which was considered as a cutoff for categorizing QoL. It was observed that nearly half of the respondents (46.2%) had poor QoL. Men had a better QoL score than women while older adults had lower scores than younger adults (P<0.01). Being employed and higher socio-economic status positively impacted the QoL. From the 8 cities, Mumbai had the highest percentage of respondents with good QoL. Almost all respondents agreed that nutrition plays an important role in having good QoL, however, protein and micronutrient intake showed a huge gap. In conclusion, QoL assessment could be an important tool towards holistic approach to health and can assist individuals and healthcare professionals to take impactful steps towards improving QoL of the population.

Fetal birth weight estimation in high-risk pregnancies through Machine Learning Techniques

Low birth weight of the fetus is considered one of the most critical problems in pregnancy care, which will affect the health of the newborn and in more severe cases will lead to its death. This situation is the reason for the high infant mortality rate throughout the world. In terms of health, artificial intelligence technologies, especially those based on machine learning (ML), can early predict problems related to the health of the fetus throughout pregnancy (even at birth). Therefore, the project proposes an analysis of several ML techniques that can predict whether the fetus will lose weight at birth in its gestational age. The importance of early diagnosis of problems related to fetal development depends on the possibility of increasing the number of days of pregnancy through timely intervention. This intervention will help to improve the weight of the fetus at birth, thus reducing neonatal morbidity and mortality.

Prediction of chronic kidney disease and diet recommendation

Chronic renal disorder is that the sort of disease within which there's a decrease in kidney function over a period of months or years. Early prediction of CKD is one in all the main problem in medical fields. So automated. tools which use. machine learning techniques determine the patient’s kidney condition which will be helpful to the doctors in prediction of disease.. Our system retrieves the features which are significantly affects the human with CKD, and so the ML technique which automates the classification of the disease into different stages. Our main goal is to predict the disease stage and suggest suitable diet for CKD patients using classification algorithms on medical test records. Diet recommendations for patients are going to be given per the potassium zone which is calculated using blood potassium level to weigh down the progression of CKD.

Stock Sentiment Analysis using News Headlines

Efficient Market Hypothesis is the popular theory about stock prediction. With its failure much research has been carried in the area of prediction of stocks. This project is about taking non quantifiable data such as financial news articles about a company and predicting its future stock trend with news sentiment classification. Assuming that news articles have impact on stock market, this is an attempt to study relation between news and stock trend. To show this, we created three different classification models which depict polarity of news articles being positive or negative.
