The experiment was conducted using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and MATLAB. Urine measurements were taken with a CLINITEK Novus device in the Clinical Engineering Simulating lab at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM). Various samples were selected to examine and analyse the relationship between urinalysis and stress levels, as detailed in the methodology. The findings suggested that higher specific gravity (SG) levels and increased substance production in response to stress are indicative of elevated stress levels. Similarly, high pH or urobilinogen (UBG) levels suggest increased alkaline production, another potential sign of stress. With the use of MATLAB, it was observed that a subject's ability to cope with their environment improved as their stress scores increased. The relationship between urinalysis and stress levels has been a long-standing area of research interest. However, there is still no widely accepted methodology for measuring this relationship. The application of MATLAB in this study also had its limitations, particularly in terms of the number of subjects required. Despite these limitations, this study contributes to the ongoing research in this field and provides a basis for future studies.
