Aprendizado de Máquina Aplicado à Predição de Doenças Cardiometabólicas com Utilização de Indicadores Metabólicos e Comportamentais de Risco à Saúde

Abstract

Cardiometabolic diseases, developed throughout the worker’s life,such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia and obesity are amongthe main causes of death and are associated with modifiable andcontrollable risk factors. The general objective of this study wasto apply supervised Machine Learning techniques and to comparetheir performance to predict the risk of developing cardiometabolicdisease from servers working at the School Hospital of south inBrazil. We sought to map the characteristics of individuals who aremore likely to develop cardiometabolic diseases. The machine learningmodels evaluated were Naive Bayes, Decision Tree, RandomForest, KNN, Logistic Regression and SVM. The results obtained inthe experiments showed that some supervised machine learningmodels produce a good classification, depending on the attributesand hyperparameters used.
