Popis: Obesity is a worldwide prevalence metabolic disease causing significant eye problems. Body Mass Index is proved to not be a sufficient criterion to classify obesity. In this context, a diagnostic support system for determining obesity levels by using electroretinogram signals is designed. To do this, the discrete wavelet transform is applied to three different electroretinogram responses recorded from both eyes. The obtained wavelet coefficients' size is reduced using statistical property. The designed dataset is used in artificial neural networks and artificial neural networks based particle swarm optimization models to classify obesity. We found that the average accuracy of the hybrid model is higher than the traditional model and the cone response is a highly effective response in obesity classification. This study is the first attempt to classify obesity levels based on electroretinogram signals and this study shows that obesity can be classified from electroretinogram signals.
