Abstract
BACKGROUND: The incidence of cardiovascular metabolic diseases (CMD) continues to rise among middle-aged and elderly populations, affecting not only physical health but also significantly increasing the risk of depression. This study aims to construct a machine learning model to predict the risk of depression in middle-aged and elderly patients with CMD and to identssify key risk factors.
