The global prevalence of diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is rapidly increasing and poses significant health and economic challenges.
T2DM not only disrupts blood glucose regulation but also damages vital organs, leading to substantial morbidity and mortality.
A novel unsupervised framework using Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) and statistical techniques has been proposed to identify individuals at risk of developing T2DM.
This method leverages data-driven insights from comorbidity and medication usage to estimate T2DM risk in undiagnosed individuals, offering an interpretable and scalable solution for timely interventions.
