A MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR OBESITY IN YOUNG WOMEN AGED 18 TO 25 YEARS
A mathematical model for obesity in young women aged 18 to 25 years is formulated. The boundedness of the system is verified using Gronwall’s inequality. Equilibrium points are found. The local stability of the model is analysed around the equilibrium points using the Routh-Hurwitz Criteria. The global stability of the model is analysed using Lyapunov’s theorem on stability. Numerical simulations are carried out using MATLAB.
