About
This dataset provides a detailed analysis of health metrics from patients in Mexico, with the primary purpose of identifying risk factors and patterns associated with arterial hypertension. It was created by combining three datasets from the National Health and Nutrition Survey (ENSANUT), a government initiative in Mexico. The dataset includes a wide array of biometric information and various health measurements, making it a valuable resource for health research and predictive modelling in the context of hypertension risk. The main data file is named
Hipertension_Arterial_Mexico.csv.Columns
The dataset contains 36 columns, each providing specific health and demographic information:
- FOLIO_I: Unique identifier for each entry.
- Sexo (Gender): Indicates the patient's gender (1 for male, 2 for female).
- Edad (Age): Represents the patient's age in years.
- Concentración de Hemoglobina (Hemoglobin Concentration): Measures hemoglobin levels in the blood.
- Temperatura Ambiente (Ambient Temperature): Records the ambient temperature during measurement.
- Valor de Ácido Úrico (Uric Acid Value): Indicates uric acid levels in the blood.
- Valor de Albúmina (Albumin Value): Represents albumin concentration in the blood.
- Valor de Colesterol HDL (HDL Cholesterol Value): Indicates high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels.
- Valor de Colesterol LDL (LDL Cholesterol Value): Represents low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels.
- Valor de Colesterol Total (Total Cholesterol Value): Indicates overall cholesterol levels.
- Valor de Creatinina (Creatinine Value): Represents creatinine concentration in the blood.
- Resultado de Glucosa (Glucose Result): Indicates the result of glucose level measurement.
- Valor de Insulina (Insulin Value): Represents insulin concentration in the blood.
- Valor de Proteína C Reactiva (C-Reactive Protein Value): Indicates C-reactive protein levels, a marker of inflammation.
- Valor de Triglicéridos (Triglycerides Value): Represents triglyceride levels in the blood.
- Resultado de Glucosa Promedio (Average Glucose Result): Indicates the average glucose level.
- Valor de Hemoglobina Glucosilada (Glycosylated Hemoglobin Value): Represents glycosylated hemoglobin concentration.
- Valor de Ferritina (Ferritin Value): Indicates ferritin levels, a protein that stores iron.
- Valor de Folato (Folate Value): Represents folate levels, a B-vitamin.
- Valor de Homocisteína (Homocysteine Value): Indicates homocysteine levels in the blood.
- Valor de Transferrina (Transferrin Value): Represents transferrin concentration, a protein that transports iron.
- Valor de Vitamina B12 (Vitamin B12 Value): Indicates vitamin B12 levels in the blood.
- Valor de Vitamina D (Vitamin D Value): Represents vitamin D levels in the blood.
- Peso (Weight): Represents the patient's weight.
- Estatura (Height): Indicates the patient's height.
- Medida de Cintura (Waist Measurement): Represents the patient's waist circumference.
- Segunda Medición de Peso (Second Weight Measurement): A second weight measurement, if available.
- Segunda Medición de Estatura (Second Height Measurement): A second height measurement, if available.
- Distancia Rodilla-Talón (Knee-Heel Distance): Represents the distance from the knee to the heel.
- Circunferencia de la Pantorrilla (Calf Circumference): Indicates the circumference of the calf.
- Segunda Medición de Cintura (Second Waist Measurement): A second waist measurement, if available.
- Tensión Arterial (Blood Pressure): Indicates the patient's blood pressure.
- Sueño en Horas (Sleep in Hours): Represents the number of hours of sleep.
- Masa Corporal (Body Mass): Indicates the patient's Body Mass Index (BMI).
- Actividad Total (Total Activity): Represents the patient's total physical activity.
- Riesgo de Hipertensión (Hypertension Risk): The target variable, indicating whether the patient is at risk of developing hypertension (1 for at risk, 0 for not at risk).
Distribution
The dataset is provided as a CSV file (
Hipertension_Arterial_Mexico.csv). It has a file size of 680.33 kB and consists of 36 columns. There are 4363 records (rows) of patient data. This dataset is expected to be updated annually.Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Developing predictive models to assess hypertension risk.
- Conducting epidemiological studies on health conditions in Mexico.
- Identifying key biomarkers and lifestyle factors associated with arterial hypertension.
- Supporting public health initiatives aimed at preventing and managing hypertension.
Coverage
The dataset's geographic scope is Mexico, drawing data from the National Health and Nutrition Survey. While specific years for the survey data are indicated as 2022 for some source files, the dataset generally reflects the health status of patients in Mexico. There are no specific notes on data availability for certain groups or years that would limit its general application within this scope.
