Advancing healthcare allocation and prevention of disability: the role of disease-based predictive model for disability in aging adults
The disability risk prediction model provided a real-time digital prediction mechanism to identify high-risk groups of disability among elderly adults, serving as a valuable decision-making tool for disability prevention and the allocation of medical care resources. Developing prevention and treatment strategies targeting the chronic diseases identified as significant contributors to disability by the predictive model might lead to more effective prevention of disability in elderly adults.
