        | Core Tip | 
        We used a prospective cohort to develop and optimize a high-performance machine learning model, demonstrating its potential to screen the hepatic fat deposition in high-risk populations. We also integrate the facial and tongue diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) with the heterogeneity of metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and introduce TCM-related indicators to increase the diversity of the metrics. Our model targets a more specific population and is applicable to a broader range of scenarios, which lays the foundation for significantly improving MAFLD check-up efficiency and reducing related medical expenses. |
