Abstract
As a result of our experiment on if a person's body mass index affects a person's blood pressure depending on different health conditions.
We took test subjects with both female subjects with three different health conditions and recorded their height and weight and took three different female test subjects without health conditions with similar heights and weights to the other subjects and same thing for the male test subjects and we compared each of the subjects gender to each other and their blood pressure to see if there was a correlation.
At the end of our experiment we concluded that health conditions had minimal effect on body mass index but rather that height and weight of subjects determined their BMI. As for blood pressure, health conditions do affect the blood pressure of a person which does vary the experiments results on blood pressure.
The correlation between BMI and blood pressure does not seem to compare too similarly on different health conditions but we learned that a person's health and health conditions affects differently on a person's body mass index which deals more with a person's weight and height and that blood pressure will vary based on lifestyle of a person dealing with or without health conditions. By controlling the subjects diet for 24 hours the experiment concluded that each gender varies in blood pressure and each health condition affects a person’s blood pressure differently.
Further research shows that diet will affect a person’s blood pressure more than their BMI. But if it is thought BMI is based on weight, a person's diet in cases like Alpha gal syndrome where they have certain allergies is affected through blood pressure.
In conclusion the hypothesis we made was wrong in fact that BMI and blood pressure are hard to correlate but instead a person’s diet and health is seen through one’s blood pressure.
