Abstract

BACKGROUND: Fatty liver disease (FLD) has become a rampant condition. It is associated with a high rate of morbidity and mortality in a population. The condition is commonly referred as FLD. Early prediction of FLD would allow patients to take necessary preventive, diagnosis, and treatment. The main objective of this research is to develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict FLD that can help medics to classify individuals at high risk of FLD, make novel diagnosis, management, and prevention for FLD.
