A Study of Psychosocial and Built Environment factors for Diabetes using MLP Neural Network

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a common metabolic disorder and which is prevalent among many people in India. Although there are many factors which influence the onset of diabetes, the relationship between built environment and psycho-social factors is one such factor which play a crucial role for the onset of diabetes. Hence, in this research, the authors try to make a comparative study between built environment and psychosocial factors by using multilayer feed-forward neural networks using back propagation and Modified Feed-Forward Neural Network Constructive (MFNNC)algorithm
