    The study developed an XGBoost model to identify undiagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) using routine health checkup data from 12 hospitals in China.

  • 2

    Data from 11,382 individuals were used to train the model, which was validated on an independent test set of 1,026 individuals.

  • 3

    The model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 77.2%, indicating moderate predictive performance for T2D risk.

  • 4

    Fasting blood glucose was identified as the most influential predictor, contributing 50.6% to the model's predictions.

  • 5

    The study highlights the potential of integrating machine learning tools into clinical practice for early identification of undiagnosed T2D.
