Collection and analysis of life-style data - a novel approach to improve health-consciousness~

In this project, various life-style related data of a large number of individuals were collected at regular time intervals. The data consists of 90 items, and almost all aspects of life-style, possible to collect without violating individuals privacy, are covered. This project started with two main objectives. One is to find relationship between life-style and general physical and mental health of individuals. The other one is more subjective, to induce health-consciousness among individuals through decla- rations of their life-style. At this beginning stage of the project, we have the one-time data of about 4000 individuals. Some interesting observations were made by statistical analysis as well as cluster analysis of the data by Self-Organizing-Map neural network.
