الملخص EN

An application of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to a data set.

The 10 factors included are likely to have an effect on blood sugar level of diabetics.

It appears that none of the factors are redundant.

Principal Component Analysis was applied, using Saudi Arabian male diabetic patients attending King Abdulaziz University Hospital [400 questionnaires were distributed to patients: 300 replied].

The information considered here is age, bodymass, family history, composition of children, marital status and food habits.
