TyG-ABSI: A New Indicator of Metabolic Obesity for Carotid Plaque Evaluated Through Explainable Machine Learning in a Low-Income Population
To evaluate the predictive capacity of the TyG-ABSI index for carotid plaque risk in low-income rural populations using specific machine learning techniques and SHAP visualization.
Key Findings:
TyG-ABSI is a significant predictor of carotid plaque in low-income rural populations, highlighting its potential role in cardiovascular risk assessment.
Machine learning models demonstrated high predictive accuracy for carotid plaque risk, indicating the effectiveness of advanced analytics in this context.
SHAP visualization effectively clarified the contributions of various metabolic indicators, enhancing understanding of their roles in plaque formation.
Interpretation:
The study highlights the potential of TyG-ABSI as a valuable tool for assessing cardiovascular risk in underserved populations, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive strategies, particularly in relation to obesity and insulin resistance.
Limitations:
The study is cross-sectional, limiting causal inferences.
The sample is drawn from a specific geographic area, which may affect generalizability.
Potential biases in self-reported data and measurement errors in clinical assessments, particularly regarding metabolic indicators.
Conclusion:
TyG-ABSI combined with machine learning offers a promising approach to identify individuals at risk of carotid plaque in low-income settings, supporting the development of tailored health interventions.
