Core Tip	The current study employed decision tree (DT) and logistic regression (LR) models to predict motoric cognitive risk (MCR) syndrome by identifying key modifiable risk factors spanning the demographic, lifestyle, and health-related domains. Feature selection was performed using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator, with LR being used to develop a nomogram and DT being used to construct a classification tree. Both models were integrated into a user-friendly, web-based interface. This is the first known application of machine learning for predicting MCR, demonstrating that the DT model is effective in supporting community nurses and clinicians in triaging MCR due to its simplicity and interpretability.
