Obesity & Disease Impact Analysis

This project explores how obesity (specifically high BMI) contributes to mortality across major diseases — like stroke, ischemic heart disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and more.

The idea was simple: understand the real health cost of obesity, not just as a percentage, but in actual human lives.

Why this project?

I’m currently working through a data analyst bootcamp, and instead of doing something “safe” or easy, I wanted to work with real-world health data that actually means something. I wanted to go beyond dashboards and charts and ask bigger questions — like how many lives are impacted by obesity, and how it has evolved over the years.

What you'll find

  • Cleaned datasets comparing total deaths vs deaths from high BMI across:
    • Stroke
    • Ischemic Heart Disease
    • Chronic Respiratory Disease
    • Diabetes
    • Alzheimer's
  • Breakdown by:
    • Year
    • Sex
    • Age groups (Under 40 / 40+)
  • A merged dataset showing:
    • Total deaths
    • Deaths due to obesity
    • Percent contribution of obesity

Tools used


Quick preview

“In 2019, over 7% of all global stroke deaths in men over 40 were linked to high BMI. That’s not just a stat. That’s hundreds of thousands of lives.”
