Abstract

As time progresses, the prevalence of chronic diseases among people has increased, among which is high blood pressure. High blood pressure is often thought of as being correlated with high cholesterol levels. Moreover, blood pressure can also be affected by dietary conditions. This paper uses samples from American elderly aged above 50 between the year 2007-2008 to explore the correlation between cholesterol level, along with some dietary factors before testing, and blood pressure. A linear regression model is established using R language to model the relationship between cholesterol levels and blood pressure in the elderly American population. Also, a logistic regression model is established using R language to model the correspondence between the cholesterol level and the diagnosis of high blood pressure of the American elderly. This paper concludes that as age increases, people will have a higher risk of high blood pressure. Generally, the higher the cholesterol level, the higher the blood pressure. Caffeine and food taken in 30 minutes before the blood pressure test will slightly increase the blood pressure, while the effect of cigarettes is not stable.
