The increased risk of having type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been a significant concern in the health care sector worldwide. Also, it has been regularly reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and diabetes mellitus are part of the ten major leading causes of death globally. Some changes, such as increased blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar level, are usually apparent before the onset of these diseases. Therefore, early detection of individuals at increased risk of having this disease is essential in preventing the disease Incidence. Furthermore, these diseases can influence specific measures like lifestyle changes such as healthy diet and exercise. In addition, machine learning models can help predict the risk of having T2D and CVD. Other factors such as lipid level and blood sugar levels, particularly evaluation of gene variations, protein complements, and metabolome, which includes lipidome, may aid in identifying physiopathology pathways that might be … read more
