Question:
A health researcher wants to be able to predict whether the incidence of heart disease can be predicted based on age, weight, gender and maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max) (an indicator of fitness and health). To this end, the researcher recruited 100 participants to perform a maximum VO2max test as well as recording their age, weight and gender. The participants were also evaluated for the presence of heart disease. Run a logistic regression to determine whether the presence of heart disease could be predicted from their VO2max, age, weight and gender. Note: this data is fictitious. Give your answer showing the output from SPSS and your interpretation. The below columns are Case#, age, weight, gender, Vo2max, heart disease (from SPSS)
