UK Biobank MRI data can power the development of generalizable brain clocks: A study of standard ML/DL methodologies and performance analysis on external databases.

NeuroImage
In this study, we present a comprehensive pipeline to train and compare a broad spectrum of machine learning and deep learning brain clocks, integrating diverse preprocessing strategies and correction terms. Our analysis also includes established met...

Deep learning and genome-wide association meta-analyses of bone marrow adiposity in the UK Biobank.

Nature communications
Bone marrow adipose tissue is a distinct adipose subtype comprising more than 10% of fat mass in healthy humans. However, the functions and pathophysiological correlates of this tissue are unclear, and its genetic determinants remain unknown. Here, w...

Evaluation of a machine learning-based metabolic marker for coronary artery disease in the UK Biobank.

Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: An in silico quantitative score of coronary artery disease (ISCAD), built using machine learning and clinical data from electronic health records, has been shown to result in gradations of risk of subclinical atherosclerosis, cor...

Explainable machine learning identifies a polygenic risk score as a key predictor of pancreatic cancer risk in the UK Biobank.

Digestive and liver disease : official journal of the Italian Society of Gastroenterology and the Italian Association for the Study of the Liver
BACKGROUND: Predicting the risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is of paramount importance, given its high mortality rate. Current PDAC risk prediction models rely on a limited number of variables, do not include genetics, and h...

Enabling Demonstrated Consent for Biobanking with Blockchain and Generative AI.

The American journal of bioethics : AJOB
Participation in research is supposed to be voluntary and informed. Yet it is difficult to ensure people are adequately informed about the potential uses of their biological materials when they donate samples for future research. We propose a novel c...

Machine learning and statistical models to predict all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes: Results from the UK Biobank study.

Diabetes & metabolic syndrome
AIMS: This study aims to compare the performance of contemporary machine learning models with statistical models in predicting all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and to develop a user-friendly mortality risk prediction tool...

Disease prediction with multi-omics and biomarkers empowers case-control genetic discoveries in the UK Biobank.

Nature genetics
The emergence of biobank-level datasets offers new opportunities to discover novel biomarkers and develop predictive algorithms for human disease. Here, we present an ensemble machine-learning framework (machine learning with phenotype associations, ...

Using machine learning-based algorithms to construct cardiovascular risk prediction models for Taiwanese adults based on traditional and novel risk factors.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate machine learning models for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) within a Taiwanese cohort, with an emphasis on identifying significant predictors and comparing the performance of various models.

Comparing cadence-based and machine learning based estimates for physical activity intensity classification: The UK Biobank.

Journal of science and medicine in sport
OBJECTIVES: Cadence thresholds have been widely used to categorize physical activity intensity in health-related research. We examined the convergent validity of two cadence-based intensity classification approaches against a machine-learning-based i...

Uncovering Predictors of Low Hippocampal Volume: Evidence from a Large-Scale Machine-Learning-Based Study in the UK Biobank.

Neuroepidemiology
INTRODUCTION: Hippocampal atrophy is an established biomarker for conversion from the normal ageing process to developing cognitive impairment and dementia. This study used a novel hypothesis-free machine-learning approach, to uncover potential risk ...
