Table 1.2

Interpretation:

The table shows the various heights of the respondents. The results imply that the
average height of the respondents falls between 151 cm to 160 cm with 8 respondents. They
are followed by the height of 161 to 165 cm and 171 to 180 cm.

Analysis:
The height of 160 cm is the most common height of a pure blooded filipino. According to
J.E. Murray (2002), “Average heights fell in a relatively narrow range of 160 cm”. The
result of this data reveals that the height of the respondents narrows down to the
average height.

Table 2.2

Interpretation

As presented in table 2.1, it indicates that the average weight of the respondents is 56.6
kilograms when rounded up. The table shows the different weight of the respondents.. The data
implies that the communal weight of the respondents ranges from 46 to 50 kilograms.

Analysis
A study according to Natera, Cuevas, Azanon, Palattao, Espiritu, Cobar, and Palad(1996), their
data shows that the average weight of Filipino adult men has a weight of 56, and the average
weight of Filipino adult women falls under 49. When the two means are combined, the general
weight of an adult Filipino would make up the average of 52.5 kilograms.

Table 3.2

Interpretation
As presented in the table 3.1, the mean of the BMI of the respondents is 21.86. The
results on table 3.2 implies that the majority (53.85%) of the respondent’s BMI falls between 15
to 20. The 38.46% of the respondents showed that they have 21 to 25 BMI and lastly followed
by 7.69% of 31 to 35 BMI

Analysis:
With this study it shows that the average BMI of the respondents falls under the
majority of 15 to 20 whereas the average BMI is 21.86. According to J.E. Murray (2009),
“Body mass index (BMI) fell in a broader range of 18.24-21.26”.

Table 4

Interpretation:
The table indicates the number of students that had past illnesses or health conditions. There is
a total of 13 students. It is showed that 7 students had no past illnesses with a related frequency
of 54%, Meanwhile, there are 4 students with a past illnesses which is Dengue Sinusitis,Anemic
and Covid-19 Delta .1 student have 3 past illnesses which is Asthma,Chickenpox and Mumps.
The other 1 student have 2 past illnesses which is Bronchitis and Measles.
 Analysis:
According to Bhatt S, et a.l (2013) Dengue is the most important arbovirus among humans and
around half the world population is at risk , recent estimates of about 60–100 million
symptomatic infections per year.

In the study of Dr. Cua-Lim in 1994 and unpublished observations of Dr. Distor in 2005, the most
common allergens to sensitize Filipino patients were house dust mite and cockroach which are indoor
allergens present throughout the year.

Meanwhile,Chickenpox is extremely contagious. Over 90% of unvaccinated people become infected,

but infection occurs at different ages in different parts of the world — in South East Asia, people have
been infected by the age of 20 to 30 years, Breuer and Fifer (2011).

In the study of measles, the reported measles incidence decreased after the introduction of measles
vaccine compared to prevaccination levels. Vaccine effectiveness by birth cohort ranged from
85-96% while the lowest VE estimate by age group was seen among those aged 26-30
years.Ylade (2018).

In Covid cases, the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection is seen most often in adult male
patients with the median age of the patients was between 34 and 59 years, Bai Y,et al. (2020) .
SARS-CoV-2 is also more likely to infect people with chronic comorbidities such as
cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes. According to Chang, et al. (2020)
the highest proportion of severe cases occurs in adults ≥60 years of age, and in those with
certain underlying conditions, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and
diabetes .Fewer COVID-19 cases have been reported in children less than 15 years.

Present Illness/ Health condition Frequency Percentage

No Present Illness 12 92%

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) 1 8%

Total 13 100%

Table 5

Interpretation:
The table above shows the number of students without or no present illness and students with
present illness. There are a total of 13 students. It is revealed that 92% of the respondents said
that they have no present illness while 8% said that they have Polycystic ovary syndrome
(PCOS).

Analysis:

According to a study, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex and multi-faceted

endocrine disorder that affects 5–20% of women (UK Research and Innovation, n.d.). In the
Philippines, PCOS results from a hormonal imbalance that can lead to infertility, a disordered
menstrual cycle, masculinization, and weight gain. Long-term complications include diabetes
and an increased risk of ovarian cancer. PCOS is the major cause of female infertility in the
Philippines with ~4.5M Filipinas living with PCOS, however, healthcare for them is poor,
focusing on surgical removal of ovaries (Jain et al.,2021).
