Therefore, early intervention and necessary precautions for diagnosing and treating obesity are of paramount importance. Classical machine learning algorithms are actively utilized in medical fields to expedite prediction processes. However, the increasing volume of data renders even effective classification algorithms inadequate for experts to diagnose diseases. Quantum computing-based algorithms come into play at this point, offering a new perspective in machine learning by utilizing quantum physics, which is contrary to the rules of classical physics. Dimensionality reduction techniques required for the use of quantum-based algorithms play an essential role in both classical and quantum applications. In this study, Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), classical dimensionality reduction methods, were applied to the obesity dataset and analyzed with Quantum Support Vector Machine (QSVM) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithms. To conduct QSVM studies, the comparison of three different quantum feature maps providing the qubit transformation of classical bit data is also included in this study. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the proposed method as LDA-QSVM achieved 100% success when used with Z and Pauli X feature maps. This success, which is rare in literature studies on obesity data, emphasizes the future potential of quantum-based algorithms in obesity diagnosis and treatment.</p></abstract>
