Mathematical relationship among visual reaction time, age and BMI in healthy adults

Dr Shweta Sehgal, Dr Rahul Kapoor

Abstract :

 Reaction is a purposeful voluntary response to an external stimulus. There is certain time period between application of external stimulus and appropriate motor response to the stimulus called the reaction time. Various factors affect reaction time like handedness, age and gender of the person, BMI, type of receptor system involved. It is well known that there exist relationship among Visual Reaction Time, age and BMI. The degree of correlation among these variables is found to be higher. We develop a multivariate regression line in the form of z = ax +by +c, where x, y are two independent variable (x=age, y=BMI) and z is the measure of visual reaction time. Key Words: Visual reaction time, BMI , Correlation and Regression line
