Abstract

This study focuses on early identification of memory disorders among elderly individuals, utilizing data from social and healthcare services in Kuopio. A cohort of 26,000 citizens aged over 65 as of 2015 was utilized. Through a case-control study, individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and controls were identified. ANOVA and Mutual Information (MI) methods identified significant features including International Classification of Primary Care (ICPC) and International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-10) codes, onset age, number of patient visits, and types of services. Logistic regression and SHAP-guided gradient-boosting classifiers demonstrated promising predictive performance, suggesting potential for proactive interventions and targeted monitoring in individuals at risk of memory disorders
