Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

Mechanistic Models: Compartment Models in Individual and Population Analysis

Mechanistic models are utilized in individual analysis using single-source data, but imperfections arise due to data collection errors, preventing perfect prediction of observed data. The mathematical equation involves known values (Xi), observed concentrations (Ci), measurement errors (εi), model parameters (ϕj), and the related function (ƒi) for i number of values. Different least-squares metrics quantify differences between predicted and observed values. The ordinary least...

Background:

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a cluster of conditions including obesity, high blood glucose, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.
Early prediction of MetS risk, especially considering gender-specific factors, can improve cardiovascular health outcomes in hospital employees.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and optimize a machine learning model for predicting MetS risk in hospital employees.
To investigate gender-specific differences in MetS prediction.

Main Methods:

A population-based survey of 3,537 hospital employees (aged 20-65) from 2018-2020.
Data included demographics, anthropometrics, medical history, lifestyle, and biochemical markers.
Six machine learning models (K-NN, Random Forest, Logistic Regression, SVM, Neural Network, Naïve Bayes) were employed and evaluated.

Main Results:

MetS prevalence was 8.91%.
The Naïve Bayes model demonstrated superior performance (sensitivity 0.825, accuracy 0.859, AUC 0.936).
Key predictors included BMI and ALT (both genders), with gender-specific factors like age, uric acid, AST (men), and chronic disease, phosphorus (women).

Conclusions:

The Naïve Bayes model is effective for gender-independent MetS prediction in hospital employees.
Integrating gender-specific factors into MetS prediction models is crucial for routine health screening and cardiovascular disease prevention.
