Five ML models were developed to predict ASCVD, and the best-performing model was selected for further analysis. The study included 40,298 participants.

The model showed a positive correlation between male sex and ASCVD risk, while age and smoking also exhibited positive associations with ASCVD risk. Dairy product intake exhibited a negative correlation, while a lower intake of refined grains did not reduce the risk of ASCVD. Additionally, the poverty income ratio and calorie intake exhibited non-linear associations with the disease.
