Abstract

Excessive fat accumulation that impairs personal health and raises the risk of chronic diseases is the hallmark of obesity, a global health issue. Decision Tree (DT) has been widely used for obesity classification, but it tends to suffer from overfitting and poor performance on imbalanced datasets. To overcome these limitations, this study proposes an optimization of the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm using Synthetic Minority Over-sampling Technique (SMOTE) and Hyperparameter Tuning. SMOTE was applied to balance the class distribution, whereas Grid Search was utilized to determine the optimal combination of hyperparameters (C, gamma, and kernel). The dataset employed in this research comprises multiple features related to individual health and lifestyle, with obesity level as the target class. The experimental results demonstrate that the optimized SVM model demonstrated strong classification performance, attaining 97% in accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. This high performance is significant because it enables more accurate early detection of obesity risk, which can support timely medical intervention and personalized treatment planning, ultimately contributing to better public health outcomesThese findings suggest that incorporating SMOTE and Hyperparameter Tuning substantially improves SVM performance, establishing it as a robust approach for obesity classification and early risk detection.
