The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia (HCHOL) among smokers and non-smokers is as follows:
  • Non-smokers (Smoking = 0): 39.81%
  • Smokers (Smoking = 1): 39.33%
The prevalence of hypercholesterolemia is quite similar between smokers and non-smokers in this dataset.
Unfortunately, the dataset does not contain a column for diabetes type II, so I could not calculate its prevalence.
Would you like to explore any other aspects of this dataset or perform additional analyses?

the dataset contains a variable for diabetes type II, it is called DM and 0 = no diabetes, 1 = diabetes. Continue with the prevelance

The prevalence of diabetes type II (DM) among smokers and non-smokers is as follows:
  • Non-smokers (Smoking = 0): 7.92%
  • Smokers (Smoking = 1): 5.77%
Interestingly, the prevalence of diabetes type II is slightly lower among smokers compared to non-smokers in this dataset.

Can you perform a statistical test to see if the differences are significant?

The results of the chi-squared tests are as follows:
  • Hypercholesterolemia (HCHOL):
    • Chi-squared statistic: 0.05364
    • p-value: 0.8168
    The p-value is greater than 0.05, indicating that there is no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia between smokers and non-smokers.
  • Diabetes Type II (DM):
    • Chi-squared statistic: 4.9567
    • p-value: 0.02599
    The p-value is less than 0.05, indicating that there is a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of diabetes type II between smokers and non-smokers.
