Health Data Results & Interpretation
Health Data Results & Interpretation
Welcome! In this lab we will be taking a look at a number of patients in a database. Specifically we will be looking at patients that have obesity, Medicare insurance and are checked in under the elective hospital admission. With our results we'll be analyzing, comparing and interpreting their results.

Interpretation
- Higer admission rates for Women compared to Men, highlighting the gender roles in healthcare trajectories.
- Despite same medical provider, there is an average $7,000 difference in medical bills for the same diagnosis. We can interpret as an insight towards the degree in which healthcare is given.
- Age gaps of about 4 years can be seen between the results, indicating gender differences in obesity-related health outcomes can also explain the age gap. Women may develop obesity-related conditions at a later age compared to men or may have more complex conditions associated with obesity, leading them to require hospital care at older ages.
