Abstract
With the recent prevalence of chronic illness, quality of life has the potential to be impacted. We have decided to look at the impact that chronic illnesses, specifically diet impacting chronic illnesses, have on the individual's quality of life. In analyzing the data, we applied a one-tailed Pearson Correlation. Our analysis revealed, quality of life is correlated to symptom severity of individuals with chronic illness. In this presentation, we will share details of these methods and the results.
