Trends in the prevalence of osteoporosis and effects of heavy metal exposure using interpretable machine learning.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
There is limited evidence that heavy metals exposure contributes to osteoporosis. Multi-parameter scoring machine learning (ML) techniques were developed using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data to predict osteoporosis based on hea...

Identifying cardiovascular disease risk in the U.S. population using environmental volatile organic compounds exposure: A machine learning predictive model based on the SHAP methodology.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a leading cause of mortality globally. Environmental pollutants, specifically volatile organic compounds (VOCs), have been identified as significant risk factors. This study aims to develop a machine l...

Considerations for using tree-based machine learning to assess causation between demographic and environmental risk factors and health outcomes.

Environmental science and pollution research international
Evaluation of the heterogeneous treatment effect (HTE) allows for the assessment of the causal effect of a therapy or intervention while considering heterogeneity in individual factors within a population. Machine learning (ML) methods have previousl...

Rapid and noninvasive estimation of human arsenic exposure based on 4-photo-set of the hand and foot photos through artificial intelligence.

Journal of hazardous materials
Chronic exposure to arsenic is linked to the development of cancers in the skin, lungs, and bladder. Arsenic exposure manifests as variegated pigmentation and characteristic pitted keratosis on the hands and feet, which often precede the onset of int...

Machine learning approaches to identify the link between heavy metal exposure and ischemic stroke using the US NHANES data from 2003 to 2018.

Frontiers in public health
PURPOSE: There is limited understanding of the link between exposure to heavy metals and ischemic stroke (IS). This research aimed to develop efficient and interpretable machine learning (ML) models to associate the relationship between exposure to h...

Use of machine learning algorithms to determine the relationship between air pollution and cognitive impairment in Taiwan.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Air pollution has become a major global threat to human health. Urbanization and industrialization over the past few decades have increased the air pollution. Plausible connections have been made between air pollutants and dementia. This study used m...

Spatial source, simulating improvement, and short-term health effect of high PM exposure during mutation event in the key urban agglomeration regions in China.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Air quality in China has significantly improved owing to the effective implementation of pollution control measures. However, mutation events caused by short-term spikes in PM in urban agglomeration regions continue to occur frequently. Identifying t...

Effects of environmental phenols on eGFR: machine learning modeling methods applied to cross-sectional studies.

Frontiers in public health
PURPOSE: Limited investigation is available on the correlation between environmental phenols' exposure and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Our target is established a robust and explainable machine learning (ML) model that associates env...

The Relationship Between Metal Exposure and HPV Infection: Evidence from Explainable Machine Learning Methods.

Biological trace element research
HPV is a ubiquitous pathogen implicated in cervical and other cancers. Although vaccines are available, they do not encompass all subtypes. Meanwhile, metal exposure may elevate the risk of HPV infection and amplify its carcinogenic potential, but st...

Appraisal of microplastic pollution and its related risks for urban indoor environment in Bangladesh using machine learning and diverse risk evolution indices.

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
The widespread presence of Microplastics (MPs) is increasing in the indoor environment due to increasing annual plastic usage, which is becoming a global threat to human health. Therefore, this is the first research in Bangladesh to identify, and cha...
