Metabolic dysfunctions predict the development of Alzheimer's disease: Statistical and machine learning analysis of EMR data.

Hispanics/Latinos and Native Hawaiians/Pacific Islanders show increased hazards of Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to White subjects. Underweight individuals demonstrate a significantly higher hazard ratio for AD compared to those with normal body mass index. The association between obesity and AD hazard differs among racial groups, with elderly Asian subjects showing increased risk compared to White subjects. Alcohol consumption and non-infectious hepatitis are significant hazards for AD. Machine learning approaches highlight the potential of metabolic panels for AD prediction.
