Machine learning analysis of emerging risk factors for early-onset hypertension in the Tlalpan 2020 cohort by Mireya Martínez-García, Guadalupe O. Gutiérrez-Esparza, Guadalupe O. Gutiérrez-Esparza, Manlio F. Márquez, Manlio F. Márquez, Luis M. Amezcua-Guerra, Enrique Hernández-Lemus, Enrique Hernández-Lemus

“…Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Logistic Regression (LG) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) were employed to evaluate the relationship between these factors and hypertension risk.ResultsThe Random Forest (RF) Importance Percent was calculated to assess the structural relevance of each variable in the model, while Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) analysis quantified both the average impact and direction of each feature on individual predictions. Additionally, odds ratios were calculated to express the size and direction of influence for each variable, and a sex-stratified analysis was conducted to identify any gender-specific risk factors.DiscussionThis nested study provides evidence that sleep disorders, a sedentary lifestyle, consumption of high-fat foods, and energy drinks are potentially modifiable risk factors for hypertension in a Mexico City cohort of young and relatively healthy adults. …”
