A novel method for early detection and prediction of diabetes using various machine learning and deep learning models
摘要
Hyperglycemia, a persistent elevation of blood glucose levels, is a major indicator and complication of diabetes mellitus. According to the International Diabetes Federation, diabetes affects approximately 382 million people worldwide, with projections suggesting an increase to 592 million by 2035. This growing prevalence emphasizes the need for effective diagnostic and predictive tools to support clinical decision-making.
ObjectiveThis study aims to develop and evaluate robust data-driven models for the prediction and classification of diabetes using advanced machine learning and deep learning techniques.
MethodsThe research utilizes the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) dataset, which comprises data from over 400,000 adult respondents collected annually. Several supervised learning algorithms—decision tree, random forest, XGBoost, gradient boosting—and a deep learning model, the convolutional neural network (CNN), were implemented. Model performance was assessed based on key metrics including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score to determine the most effective predictive approach.
ResultsAmong the models evaluated, the convolutional neural network (CNN) demonstrated superior performance, achieving an accuracy of 93.34%, outperforming all other machine learning algorithms in terms of predictive capability and overall robustness.
ConclusionThe study highlights the potential of deep learning models, particularly CNNs, in improving diabetes prediction accuracy. The findings establish a strong foundation for developing reliable, data-driven diagnostic systems to assist healthcare professionals in early diabetes detection and patient management.
