Abstract

AIMS: Most prediction models for coronary artery disease (CAD) compile biomedical and behavioural risk factors using linear multivariate models. This study explores the potential of integrating positive psychosocial factors (PPFs), including happiness, satisfaction with life, and social support, into conventional and machine learning-based CAD-prediction models.
