METS-VF as a novel predictor of gallstones in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional analysis (NHANES 2017-2020).

BMC gastroenterology
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Obesity is a well-established risk factor for gallstone formation, but traditional anthropometric measures (e.g., BMI, waist circumference) inadequately assess metabolically active visceral adiposity. The novel Metabolic Score fo...

The application and predictive value of the weight-adjusted-waist index in BC prevalence assessment: a comprehensive statistical and machine learning analysis using NHANES data.

BMC cancer
BACKGROUND: Obesity is a known risk factor for breast cancer (BC), but conventional metrics such as body mass index (BMI) may insufficiently capture central adiposity. The weight-adjusted waist index (WWI) has emerged as a potentially superior anthro...

Explainable machine learning-driven models for predicting Parkinson's disease and its prognosis: obesity patterns associations and models development using NHANES 1999-2018 data.

Lipids in health and disease
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative condition, the effect of obesity on PD remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the associations of obesity patterns on PD and all-cause mortality, while developing machine l...

The value of triglyceride-glucose index-related indices in evaluating migraine: perspectives from multi-centre cross-sectional studies and machine learning models.

Lipids in health and disease
BACKGROUND: This study employed representative data from the U.S. and China to delve into the correlation among migraine prevalence, the triglyceride‒glucose index, a marker of insulin resistance, and the composite indicator of obesity.

A supervised machine learning approach with feature selection for sex-specific biomarker prediction.

NPJ systems biology and applications
Biomarkers are crucial in aiding in disease diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment selection. Machine learning (ML) has emerged as an effective tool for identifying novel biomarkers and enhancing predictive modelling. However, sex-based bias in ML algor...

Surrogate markers of insulin resistance and coronary artery disease in type 2 diabetes: U-shaped TyG association and insights from machine learning integration.

Lipids in health and disease
BACKGROUND: Surrogate insulin resistance (IR) indices are simpler and more practical alternatives to insulin-based IR indicators for clinical use. This study explored the association between surrogate IR indices, including triglyceride-glucose index ...

Machine learning-based analyses of contributing factors for the development of hypertension: a comparative study.

Clinical and experimental hypertension (New York, N.Y. : 1993)
OBJECTIVES: Sufficient attention has not been given to machine learning (ML) models using longitudinal data for investigating important predictors of new onset of hypertension. We investigated the predictive ability of several ML models for the devel...

Identification and optimization of relevant factors for chronic kidney disease in abdominal obesity patients by machine learning methods: insights from NHANES 2005-2018.

Lipids in health and disease
BACKGROUND: The intake of dietary antioxidants and glycolipid metabolism are closely related to chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly among individuals with abdominal obesity. Nevertheless, the cumulative effect of multiple comorbid risk factors...

Obesity prediction: Novel machine learning insights into waist circumference accuracy.

Diabetes & metabolic syndrome
AIMS: This study aims to enhance the precision of obesity risk assessments by improving the accuracy of waist circumference predictions using machine learning techniques.
