COMPARISON OF CLUSTERING MODELS FOR GROUPING LIFESTYLE PATTERNS AND OBESITY FACTORS
Obesity is a growing global health issue and a major risk factor for various chronic diseases. This study aims to compare the performance of three clustering methods K-Means, Agglomerative Clustering, and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) in grouping lifestyle patterns and obesity-related factors. The research uses the Food Nutrition dataset containing variables on dietary habits, physical activity, and socio-economic conditions. Evaluation was conducted using Silhouette Score, Davies-Bouldin Index (DBI), and Calinski-Harabasz Index (CHI) to measure clustering quality. The results indicate that K-Means achieved the best performance with the highest Silhouette Score and the most clearly separated cluster structure. Meanwhile, GMM demonstrated greater flexibility in handling non-spherical data distributions, whereas Agglomerative Clustering showed higher overlap between clusters. These findings suggest that the selection of a clustering method should align with the characteristics of the dataset. Overall, this study provides a data-driven foundation for developing public health intervention strategies aimed at obesity prevention.
