1. If a person is a certain race, then they may be more susceptible to obesity.
2. Dependent Component: How much weight is being lost.
Independent Component: The race of the people on a diet.
Controlled Variables: How much food is being eaten.
3. This relates to my senior project EQ because the whole point to my EQ is living healthy and I am trying to find out if it is harder for certain races to get healthy by seeing if obesity runs more in a certain race.
4. I plan to Find data on the NIH and CDC websites and check to see the statistics on how many people are obese. I will also try to work with programs that help people go on a healthy diet such as Weight Watchers or Curves and get data from them as far as the type of people who sign up and how much weight they loose. I will also check for statistics on whether certain races have certain metabolism pace.
5. I think the closest category to this would be Behavioral/Social Science. This is because I am checking to see if certain races correlate with obesity.
