    A two-phase machine learning framework combines state-level ecological data with individual clinical data for predicting coronary heart disease (CHD) risk.

  • 2

    Phase 1 identifies ozone pollution, physical inactivity, smoking, and dietary factors as significant state-level predictors of CHD.

  • 3

    Phase 2 reveals hypertension, diabetes, and smoking as major individual risk factors for coronary heart disease.

  • 4

    The dual-phase design addresses ecological fallacy by linking macro environmental exposures to individual pathophysiology.

  • 5

    The study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of CHD risk through an interpretable machine learning approach.
