Diabetes mellitus, particularly type-2 diabetes, remains a prevalent
health issue, raising concerns due to its associated risk of
complications. Among these, cardiovascular complications pose a
significant threat, exhibiting high morbidity and mortality rates.
Health screening plays a pivotal role in stratifying the risk levels of
diabetes patients, facilitating proactive measures to prevent the
progression of complications. As such, the primary objective of this
study is to develop a predictive model system for assessing
cardiovascular risk in diabetes patients. Our study used the
Cardiovascular Disease dataset and conducts experiments with various
supervised machine learning algorithms, such as Naive Bayes, decision
tree, random forest, AdaBoost, and XGBoost. The results reveal that
ensemble learning algorithms based on boosting, particularly AdaBoost
and XGBoost, outperform other supervised machine learning methods.
However, even with the best performance achieved using the dataset, the
accuracy stands at 0.71, and the F-1 score is 0.69, which is still
acceptable for screening purposes. Although these results provide
valuable insights, indicating individuals at higher risk for
cardiovascular complications in diabetes, further improvements are
needed to enhance early prevention strategies.
