๐ฅ Diet: Delivered by Data – Episode 1
“No Slimmer, No Promotion?”
Your Body May Speak Louder Than Your Resume
Hi there! I'm The Data Whizard ๐งโ๏ธ—the one who serves you feelings on a spreadsheet.
You’ve heard it before: “If you lost a little weight, you’d look even more professional.”
Sounds innocent? It’s not.
๐ In today’s corporate world, looks can function like qualifications.
Even when you perform well, there’s that chilling thought: “Would I be taken more seriously if I looked thinner?”
Let’s ditch the gut feelings—and use actual data to unpack how your body shape is judged, sometimes more than your skill set.
๐ How Did We Analyze It?
- ๐๏ธ Dataset: Korean Employment Panel Survey (KEPS)
- ๐ข Variables: diet_success, age, income, stress_level
- ๐ Model: Logistic Regression
- ๐ Command:
logit diet_success age income stress_level
๐ What Did We Find?
- ๐ฐ Income: Higher income significantly increases chances of diet success (Coefficient: +0.27, p < 0.01)
- ๐ฐ Stress: Higher stress significantly decreases diet success (Coefficient: -0.34, p < 0.05)
- Does Money and Peace of Mind Hold the Key to Diet Success? Fascinating Insights from Data!Conversely, higher stress levels are significantly linked to a decrease in diet success. Stress is known to negatively impact various health behaviors, including our eating habits. Emotional eating, irregular lifestyles, and a lack of exercise can be associated with stress, ultimately making dieting more challenging. Statistically, higher stress levels were found to significantly reduce the likelihood of diet success.
- In conclusion, the data suggests that achieving diet success may be deeply connected not only to individual will and effort but also to financial stability and peace of mind.
- Our data analysis reveals that diet success isn't solely about willpower. There's a clear trend showing that higher income significantly increases the chances of successfully achieving diet goals. Specifically, as income levels rise, the indicators of diet success show a statistically meaningful increase. This could be because financial comfort allows for maintaining a healthier diet, investing in exercise or related services, and managing stress more effectively.
๐ Visual Insight: The Money Gap
Successful dieters had an average income of โฉ3.56 million/month. Failed dieters? โฉ2.85 million.
๐ In plain English: The thinner crowd had thicker wallets.
