INTRODUCTION: Blood biomarkers are measured for their ability to characterise physiological and disease states. Much is known about linear relations between blood biomarker concentrations and individual vital signs or adiposity indexes (eg, BMI). Com...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Conventional anthropometric studies using Kinect depth sensors have concentrated on estimating the distances between two points such as height. This paper deals with a novel waist measurement method using SVM regression, fur...
Obesity is associated with changes in the plasma lipids. Although simple lipid quantification is routinely used, plasma lipids are rarely investigated at the level of individual molecules. We aimed at predicting different measures of obesity based on...
Artificial intelligence (AI) will pave the way to a new era in medicine. However, currently available AI systems do not interact with a patient, e.g., for anamnesis, and thus are only used by the physicians for predictions in diagnosis or prognosis. ...
The aim of this study is to compare some machine learning methods with traditional statistical parametric analyses using logistic regression to investigate the relationship of risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular (cardiometabolic risk) for U...
BACKGROUND: Waist circumference (WC) and z scores of body mass index (BMI) are commonly used to predict childhood obesity, although BMI and WC have a limited sensitivity.
AIMS: Non-Caucasian migrants require dedicated approaches in diabetes management due to specific genetic; socio-cultural; demographic and anthropological determinants. Documenting such phenotypes allows for better understanding unmet needs and manage...
Statistical models to predict incident diabetes are often based on limited variables. Here we pursued two main goals: 1) investigate the relative performance of a machine learning method such as Random Forests (RF) for detecting incident diabetes in ...

OBJECTIVE: Increasing evidence has suggested a protective role of vitamin D on metabolic syndrome (MetS). However, studies addressing this issue are limited in Asia and it remains unclear whether calcium could modify the association. We examined the ...
