    The study investigates the impact of social determinants of health (SDOH) on the progression of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (DM2).

  • 2

    Traditional models for predicting CVD and DM2 risk often exclude SDOH, potentially underestimating risk in diverse populations.

  • 3

    Machine learning algorithms, such as Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), can better handle complex, high-dimensional datasets compared to traditional statistical models.

  • 4

    The research aims to assess the incremental predictive value of SDOH alongside biomedical risk factors in estimating disease progression.

  • 5

    The study received ethical approval from multiple committees, ensuring compliance with regulations regarding the use of health data for research.
