Abstract
This study investigates the use of integrative machine learning approaches to predict disease risk using multi-omics data from the UK Biobank. The researchers trained prediction and survival models using demographic, genomic, metabolomic, and clinical biomarker data for 22 diseases. They compared several machine learning models (Lasso Regression, Multi-Layer Perceptron, XG Boost, and ADA Boost) and found that integrating multi-omics data improved risk prediction for 8 diseases. However, the contribution of metabolomic data was marginal compared to demographic, genetic, and biomarker features, although it served as a useful replacement for biomarker panels when unavailable.
