Title
Dietary and Lifestyle Social Determinants as risk factors for colon cancer in Hispanic males
Summary
The research will study dietary and lifestyle social determinants such as red meat consumption and obesity as possible predictors of colon cancer risk in Hispanic males between the ages of 40 and 70 living in the United States by employing a quantitative, non-experimental, correlational design using historical observations collected under controlled trials.
Aims

- Aims to conduct data science-based quantitative analysis and discover how, if at all, dietary and lifestyle factors may be considered predictors of colon cancer risk in Hispanic males between the ages of 40 and 70 living in the United States.
- Aims to evaluate the extent of the relationship between specific dietary and lifestyle factors and colon cancer risk using correlational analysis.
- Aims to evaluate the efficacies of atleast three predictive models using the selected dietary and lifestyle factors as predictors.
- Aims to help develop preventive methods in a broader context of meeting precision oncology objectives.
- Aims to help drive awareness on the critical risk factors to reduce the incidence and mortality rates in targeted populations.
