- Addressed class imbalance using oversampling and SMOTE-based strategies
- Model performance evaluated with accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, and AUC-ROC
Guideline-Based Recommendations
Diagnosis
- Utilize comprehensive datasets to capture lifestyle behaviors and clinical biomarkers
Management
- Implement early prevention strategies based on interpretable risk assessment models
Monitoring & Follow-up
- Follow participants every 2 years to determine factors associated with hypertension incidence
Risks
- Consider multifactorial nature of hypertension including biological, behavioral, and environmental determinants
Patient & Prescribing Data
