Abstract
This research explores the connections between Body Mass Index (BMI) and cardiovascular health across different age and gender groups. A comprehensive analysis was conducted on 180 non-athlete participants, ranging from 18 to 70 years old. The findings indicate a significant correlation between BMI and heart rate, as well as blood pressure. The study aims to provide insights into these relationships by examining data from diverse age and gender cohorts. The results show that individuals with a healthy BMI (22.9 ± 2.7) tend to have favorable cardiovascular measures, highlighting the importance of BMI. In contrast, overweight (26.9 ± 2.66) and obese (32.3 ± 3.24) individuals exhibit distinct variations, with higher heart rates and blood pressures. Visual representations illustrate the trends across BMI categories. Statistical analysis reveals a moderate positive correlation between BMI and cardiovascular parameters, including heart rate (0.576), systolic blood pressure (0.563), and diastolic blood pressure (0.602). Multiple regression analysis indicates a strong fit (R = 0.663), with BMI explaining 44% of the variability in cardiovascular parameters. The model is statistically significant (F = 45.52) and does not exhibit significant autocorrelation (Durbin-Watson = 0.864), emphasizing BMI's significant role in predicting cardiovascular health.
