Predicting longitudinal depressive symptom trajectories among older Chinese adults with chronic health conditions: An interpretable machine learning study
Objective This study leveraged interpretable machine learning (ML) to map heterogeneous trajectories of depressive symptoms in Chinese older adults with chronic diseases, aiming to develop an interpretable, prediction-oriented framework for personalized mental health interventions. Methods We analyzed four-wave longitudinal data from 5492 participants in the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Following trajectory identification, 10 ML algorithms were compared. A 50-iteration bootstrap Recursive Feat…
Elastic Net model distinguished three depressive symptom trajectories in older adults with chronic conditions and was deployed as an interactive web-based risk calculator for individualized risk profiling.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0994 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.
