Cardiovascular-Risk-Prediction

• The dataset is from an ongoing cadiovascular study on residents of the town of Framingham, Masschusetts. The classification goal is to predict whether the patient has a 10-year risk of future coronary heart disease (CHD). The dataset provides the patients information. It includes over 4000 records and 15 attributes. Each attribute is a potential risk factor. There are both demographic, behavioral, and medical risk factors. • The goal of the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) is to identify risk factors for cardiovascular disease related to the onset of coronary heart disease and stroke in adults.

• As with men, women's most common heart attack symptom is chest pain (angina) or discomfort. But women may experience other symptoms that are typically less associated with heart attack, such as shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting, and back or jaw pain. Learn about the warning signs of heart attack in women.

3. CurrentSmoker: whether or not the patient is a current smoker (Nominal)
4. CigsPerDay: the number of cigarettes that the person smoked on average in one day.(can be considered continuous as one can have any number of cigarretts, even half a cigarette.)

11. diaBP: diastolic blood pressure (Continuous)
12. BMI: Body Mass Index (Continuous)
13. heartRate: heart rate (Continuous - In medical research, variables such as heart rate though in fact discrete, yet are considered continuous because of large number of possible values.)
