⛽ Synthetic Diabetes Data
This dataset contains various features that are helpful for predicting if a patient has diabetes. The data is compiled into a single csv file for analysis and model training.
📁 Dataset Description
Contains synthetic data on based on synthetic patient information.
Columns
The dataset includes the following columns:
abdominal_obesity (int)
alcohol_consumption_per_week (int):
The amount of alcohol consumption per week of the patient.
alcohol_group (string):
The category the patient is placed in, in regards to their alcohol consumption.
bmi (float):
The body mass index of the patient.
bmi_group (string):
The category the patient is placed in, in regards to their bmi.
cardiovascular_history (int):
Indicates whether or not patient has a history of cardiovascular.
cholesterol_total (int):
Sum of all cholesterol types in blood. Indicator of diabetic dyslipidemia, referring to a specific pattern of abnormal blood lipid levels commonly seen in people with diabetes.
Total Cholesterol = HDL+LDL+VLDL = HDL+LDL+(Triglycerides/5) Ideal Level: Total Cholesterol: <200 mg/dL
diabetes_risk_score (float)
diabetes_stage (string)
diastolic_bp (int):
Pressure when the heart relaxes between beats.
Elevated BP is common in diabetes but does not diagnose it.
Useful for risk stratification, not for diagnosis.
education_level (string):
The education level of the patient.
employment_status (string):
The employment status of the patient.
ethnicity (string):
The ethnicity of the patient.
family_history_diabetes (int):
Indicates whether or not the patient's family has history of diabetes.
gender (string):
The gender of the patient.
glucose_fasting (int):
Glucose levels when fasting
glucose_postprandial (int):
Measure of blood glucose levels ~ 2 hours after a meal.
Elevated post-meal glucose is an early sign of impaired glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes.
Ranges: <18 µU/mL too Low; Typical peak: 18–276 mg/dL = Healty insulin response; ≥276 mg/dL = insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia
hba1c (float):
Hemoglobin A1c
Average blood sugar over 2–3 months.
Diagnostic use: HbA1c 5.7–6.4% = prediabetes. HbA1c ≥6.5% = diabetes
Strength: Does not require fasting and is widely used for diagnosis and monitoring.
hdl_cholesterol (int):
High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol: “Good” cholesterol. Removes excess cholesterol from arteries. Higher HDL = better.
Ideal Level: >40 mg/dL (men), >50 mg/dL (women)
heart_rate (int)
Diabetes can cause autonomic neuropathy, leading to abnormal heart rate or variability. Not diagnostic, but may indicate complications.
hypertension_history (int):
Indicates whether or not the patient has a history of hypertension.
income_level (string):
The income bracket of the patient.
insulin_level (float):
Units: µU/mL (micro-units per milliliter) or mIU/L (milli-international units per liter). Units are interchangeable: 1 µU/mL = 1 mIU/L
Fasting Insulin (after 8–12 hours without food):
- Normal: 2–25 µU/mL
- Optimal: Many experts suggest <10 µU/mL for best metabolic health
- Above 25 µU/mL: May indicate insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia
- Below 2 µU/mL: May indicate type 1 diabetes or pancreatic dysfunction
Postprandial (after eating, usually 30–90 minutes):
- Normal peak: 18–276 µU/mL
- Should return to baseline within 2–3 hours
- Higher spikes often occur after high-carb meals
ldl_cholesterol (int):
Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol: “Bad” cholesterol.
Deposits cholesterol in artery walls, leading to plaque buildup. Lower LDL = better.
Ideal Level: <100 mg/dL
physical_activity_minutes_per_week (int):
The average time of performing physical activities per week (in minutes).
screen_time_hours_per_day (float):
The time (in hours) that the patient spends using technology.
sleep_hours_per_day (float):
The amount of time the patient sleeps per night.
smoking_status (string):
The smoking status of the patient.
systolic_bp (int):
Normal peak: 18–276 µU/mL
Should return to baseline within 2–3 hours
Higher spikes often occur after high-carb meals
triglycerides (int):
A type of fat in blood. High levels often linked to insulin resistance and diabetes.
Ideal Level: <150 mg/dL
waist_to_hip_ratio (float):
The waist circumference divided by the hip circumference.
diagnosed_diabetes (int)
