    The Gamboost model was selected for its efficacy, achieving an AUC of 0.824 in the training cohort and 0.872 in the testing cohort.

    Key predictors of liver fibrosis included body mass index (BMI), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and waist circumference (WC).

  • 4

    The model demonstrated strong performance with an AUC of 0.848 during external validation, indicating its reliability.

  • 5

    This non-invasive machine learning approach can facilitate timely detection of liver fibrosis in primary care settings.
