Prediction model for type 2 diabetes mellitus and its association with mortality using machine learning in three independent cohorts from South Korea, Japan, and the UK: a model de... by Hayeon Lee, Seung Ha Hwang, Seoyoung Park, Yunjeong Choi, Sooji Lee, Jaeyu Park, Yejun Son, Hyeon Jin Kim, Soeun Kim, Jiyeon Oh, Lee Smith, Damiano Pizzol, Sang Youl Rhee, Hyunji Sang, Jinseok Lee, Dong Keon Yon

“…The SHAP value analysis of our proposed model revealed that age was the most important predictor of incident T2DM, followed by fasting blood glucose, hemoglobin, γ-glutamyl transferase level, and body mass index. The model probability is associated with an increased risk of mortality (T1: adjusted hazard ratio, 2.82 [95% CI, 2.01–3.94]; T2: 3.89 [2.74–5.53]; and T3: 7.73 [5.37–11.12]). …”

Assessing the health and economic burden of obesity-related complications in East-Asian populations: implementation of risk equations in the Core Obesity Model for Japan and model... by Ichiro Tatsuno, Mark Lamotte, Laetitia Gerlier, Anamaria-Vera Olivieri, James Baker-Knight

“…An ethnicity-specific impact of excess weight has been demonstrated, with Asian individuals exhibiting weight-related health problems at lower body mass indexes (BMIs) than Caucasians. We aimed to adapt the core obesity model (COM) to predict incidences of weight-associated diseases, including type 2 diabetes, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), stroke, cancers, sleep apnoea, hyperuricaemia/gout, total knee replacement (TKR) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in a Japanese population.Methods and analysis Literature was searched to identify studies reporting the association between risk factors and comorbidities in Japanese populations. …”
