Metabolites stratify future major depressive disorder risk in obese population: a longitudinal machine learning analysis
Background Obesity is a well-established risk factor for major depressive disorder (MDD), yet the risk is not uniform, highlighting the need for precise risk stratification. This study aimed to develop a metabolomics-based prediction model to identify high-risk metabolic phenotypes among obese participants and to elucidate the causal metabolic pathways involved. Methods Forty-one-thousand-four-hundred-fifty-nine obese participants were followed for a median of 14.4 years. We integrated multiple machine learning…
A LightGBM model trained on metabolomic data predicted incident major depressive disorder among obese participants with AUCs around 0.82-0.84 over 3 to 9 years and outperformed existing clinical models.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0590 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
