Interpretable machine learning for identifying adolescent obesity risk and identifying key determinants

This study underscores the utility of interpretable ML in identifying key predictors associated with adolescent obesity. The findings suggest that interventions might prioritize reducing sedentary behavior, the moderation of academic workload, and the enhancement of body image perception. Additionally, family and school environments play crucial roles in the prevention of obesity.

Abstract

This study underscores the utility of interpretable ML in identifying key predictors associated with adolescent obesity. The findings suggest that interventions might prioritize reducing sedentary behavior, the moderation of academic workload, and the enhancement of body image perception. Additionally, family and school environments play crucial roles in the prevention of obesity.
