Abstract

Since blood disease markers are one of the most prevalent health problems in this era, the aim of this study is to forecast pathological subjects from a population through biomedical variables of individuals using the currently produced path analysis (PA) model. In terms of the dataset, 539 subjects were used to implement this study. A mathematical approach based on the PA has been used to create a reliable biomedical model in this research that investigates if there exists a relation between the various anemia types and the biomedical variables through observational variables (the blood variables, age, and sex) and anemia types. Other linear approaches were taken into consideration for comparison, in terms of $R^2$ value of the model, which has a value of 0.699. The findings reveal that the model has great predictive potential. It is believed that the developed model, which includes observational variables, will help healthcare providers predictively plan appropriate treatment programs for their patients.
