This paper is focused on the logit model of high blood pressure. We discussed logit model in detail and applied it to a real life data of high blood and normal blood pressure of 126 individuals. The analysis generated a model for finding the probability of having high blood pressure and revealed that heartbeat rate followed by weight and then age are factors affecting high blood pressure with a concordant percentage of 95.4.
