BACKGROUND: Respiratory diseases and Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD) often coexist, with airflow obstruction (AO) severity closely linked to CVD incidence and mortality. As both conditions rise, early identification and intervention in risk populations...
BACKGROUND: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common manifestation of atherosclerosis, affecting over 200 million people worldwide. The incidence of PAD is increasing due to the aging population. Common risk factors include smoking, diabetes, an...
BACKGROUND: Hypertension (HTN) is a global public health concern and a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Insulin resistance (IR) plays a crucial role in HTN-related metabolic dysfunction, but its assessment remains cha...
Metabolic syndrome (Mets) in adolescents is a growing public health issue linked to obesity, hypertension, and insulin resistance, increasing risks of cardiovascular disease and mental health problems. Early detection and intervention are crucial but...
BACKGROUND: Lifestyle and cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality have been exhaustively explored by traditional methods, but the advantages of machine learning (ML) over traditional methods may lead to different or more precise conclusions....
Osteoporotic femoral neck fractures (OFNFs) pose a significant orthopedic challenge in the elderly population, accounting for up to 40% of all osteoporotic fractures and leading to considerable health deterioration and increased mortality. In address...
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Changes in cognitive function are commonly associated with aging in patients with cardiovascular diseases. The objective of this research was to construct and validate a nomogram-based predictive model for the identification of co...
BACKGROUND: Depression and cognitive impairments are prevalent among older adults, with evidence suggesting potential links to obesity and lipid metabolism disturbances. This study investigates the relationships between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG)...
PURPOSE: The objective of this study is to investigate the predictive ability of machine learning models for imbalanced outcomes from national survey data without the use of sampling weights.
