Abstract

BACKGROUND: Obesity, now the fifth leading global cause of death, has seen a dramatic rise in prevalence over the last forty years. It significantly increases the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Early identification of obesity risk allows for preventative actions against obesity-related factors. Despite the existence of AI-based predictive models, developing a comprehensive obesity screening tool requires extensive cohort data.
