Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a global health concern, with its prevalence and incidence rising sharply world-wide, including in Indonesia. Several factors contribute to the onset of diabetes mellitus, such as heredity, age, weight, and blood pressure. Managing blood sugar levels, maintaining a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and undergoing early screening when necessary are among the key measures to prevent and control this disease. Early diagnosis is essential to reduce both the number of cases and the associated risks. This study aims to detect diabetes mellitus using classification techniques. The method involves several subprocesses within the classification procedure. The first stage, data preprocessing, includes feature selection and data cleaning. The resulting preprocessed data are then used in the classification stage, specifically the learning subprocess, to generate a decision tree model. Model construction employs pruning, followed by training and performance evaluation. The study utilizes a diabetes dataset obtained from kaggle.com, consisting of 768 records. The dataset includes attributes such as Pregnancies, Glucose, Blood Pressure, Skin Thickness, Insulin, Body Mass Index (BMI), Diabetes Pedigree Function, Age, and the label Outcome. Testing was conducted using decision trees with maximum depths of 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15. The results show that the highest accuracy (88.56%) occurred at a maximum depth of 5, while the highest recall (100%) was achieved at a depth of 3. The highest precision (47.37%) and specificity (95.85%) were also obtained at a depth of 3.
