This dataset is designed to aid research and analysis in the field of gastrointestinal and autoimmune diseases. It includes medical history, genetic predisposition, lifestyle factors, and clinical indicators for predicting and understanding disease classification. Below is a breakdown of each attribute:

Demographic and Physical Attributes

• Age: Age of the individual (in years).
• Gender: Biological gender of the individual (Male/Female/Other).
• BMI: Body Mass Index – a measure of body fat based on height and weight.
• Body_Weight: Weight of the individual (in kilograms or pounds).

Health and Obesity Indicators

• Obesity_Status: Classification of individual as Obese, Overweight, or Normal based on BMI and other factors.
• Ethnicity: Ethnic background (e.g., Caucasian, Asian, African American, etc.).
• Family_History: Indicates whether there is a family history of related diseases (Yes/No).

Biological and Genetic Markers

• Genetic_Markers: Presence of known genetic markers associated with disease risk.
• Microbiome_Index: Quantitative index representing the state of the individual's gut microbiome.

Autoimmune and Inflammatory Indicators

• Autoimmune_Disorders: Indicates the presence of known autoimmune disorders (Yes/No).
• H_Pylori_Status: Status of Helicobacter pylori infection (Positive/Negative).
• Fecal_Calprotectin: Inflammatory marker found in stool; high levels may indicate IBD.
• Occult_Blood_Test: Results of fecal occult blood testing (Positive/Negative).
• CRP_ESR: Combined result of C-Reactive Protein and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate – inflammation indicators.

Diagnostic Results

• Endoscopy_Result: Findings from endoscopy (e.g., Normal, Inflammation, Ulcers).
• Colonoscopy_Result: Findings from colonoscopy (e.g., Polyps, IBD, Normal).
• Stool_Culture: Results indicating presence of bacterial, viral, or parasitic infections.

Lifestyle and Diet

• Diet_Type: Type of diet followed (e.g., Vegetarian, Vegan, Omnivore).
• Food_Intolerance: Known food intolerances (e.g., Lactose, Gluten).
• Smoking_Status: Current smoking behavior (Smoker/Non-Smoker/Former Smoker).
