Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to develop a machine learning-based predictive model for osteoporosis screening using demographic and clinical data, including T-scores derived from calcaneus Quantitative Ultrasound (QUS). The study aimed to offer a cost-effective and accessible alternative to Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) scans, especially in resource-constrained settings.
