Development and external validation of an interpretable machine learning-based model for obesity risk prediction in 2-18-year-old children and adolescents in Beijing and Tangshan.

Journal of global health
BACKGROUND: The multifactorial mechanisms driving childhood obesity, a global public health challenge, are yet to be fully elucidated. We aimed to develop and externally validate three widely applied machine learning models alongside logistic regress...

PODiaCarD: a prototype of a digital twin platform for the management of pediatric obesity and related cardiometabolic complications.

European journal of pediatrics
UNLABELLED: Childhood obesity is the main driver of early metabolic risk, predisposing to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), which cause millions of deaths worldwide. Their progression is influenced by biological, behavioral, and...

Using AI Chatbot to Assist Students' Behavior Management for Obesity Prevention in Middle Schools: Feasibility Study.

JMIR formative research
BACKGROUND: Adolescent obesity remains a pressing public health challenge, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the promise for supporting students in managing daily health behaviors, but ...

Uncovering age-specific subtypes of pediatric obesity and metabolic syndrome using machine learning algorithms.

Scientific reports
Identifying new subgroups among children and adolescents with obesity and metabolic syndrome requires advanced clustering techniques capable of analyzing complex multidimensional data. This study aimed to employ machine learning methods to enhance th...

SHAP-enhanced machine learning identifies modifiable obesity predictors across adolescent weight groups: A 2021 YRBSS analysis.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: The growing prevalence of obesity in adolescents around the world poses a major threat to public health. This research uses machine learning models to examine the main causes of obesity, in contrast to standard information that typically ...

Testing an adapted obesity prevention intervention in under resourced schools: a pilot clustered randomized controlled trial.

Scientific reports
The purpose of this pilot study was to test an adapted childhood obesity prevention intervention called Preventing Obesity Using Digital-Assisted Movement and Eating (ProudMe) in under-resourced schools. Six schools were cluster-randomized to ProudMe...

Markers of body fat, the mediating role of alanine aminotransferase, and their association with the risk of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease.

European journal of pediatrics
Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in children with obesity correlates with metabolic dysfunction, yet interactions between anthropometrics, liver enzymes, and risk of MASLD remain unclear. This study included 219 childr...

Transcriptome combined with Mendelian randomization to identify key genes related to polyamine metabolism in childhood obesity and elucidate their molecular regulatory mechanisms.

Scientific reports
Currently, research has found a close correlation between childhood obesity (CO) and elevated levels of polyamines in the bloodstream. Thus, the identification of key genes associated with polyamines metabolism in CO could offer fresh insights for cl...

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Obesity Risk Prediction and Management: Approaches, Insights, and Recommendations.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
Greater than 650 million individuals worldwide are categorized as obese, which is associated with significant health, economic, and social challenges. Given its overlap with leading comorbidities such as heart disease, innovative solutions are necess...

Factors associated with underweight, overweight, and obesity in Chinese children aged 3-14 years using ensemble learning algorithms.

Journal of global health
BACKGROUND: Factors underlying the development of childhood underweight, overweight, and obesity are not fully understood. Traditional models have drawbacks in handling large-scale, high-dimensional, and nonlinear data. In this study, we aimed to ide...
