Identification of obesity risk factors in 3-12-year-old children and adolescents with prior respiratory tract infections via interpretable machine and deep learning models

Childhood obesity and respiratory tract infections (RTIs) are 2 major global public health issues that frequently co-occur and are closely interrelated. Early detection of children with prior RTIs who are at high obesity risk is crucial for targeted interventions. This study integrates interpretable machine learning (ML) models and a deep learning network to develop an obesity risk prediction model in a large pediatric cohort. Cross-sectional data from 6509 children and adolescents aged 3-12 years with prior RTI…

Current reading — gain

LightGBM-based model predicted obesity versus normal weight in children aged 3-12 with prior RTIs with high accuracy and AUC, enabling early screening for targeted intervention.

What this doesn’t fix

Findings are based on cross-sectional data limited to children aged 3-12 years with prior RTIs in Beijing and Tangshan, constraining generalizability and causal inference.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0690 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.
