Abstract

UNLABELLED: This study presents an innovative ensemble machine learning model integrating genomic and clinical data to enhance the prediction of major osteoporotic fractures in older men. The Super Learner (SL) model achieved superior performance (AUC = 0.76, accuracy = 95.6%, sensitivity = 94.5%, specificity = 96.1%) compared to individual models. Ensemble machine learning improves fracture prediction accuracy, demonstrating the potential for personalized osteoporosis management.
