Heart Attack Risk Prediction Using Logistic Regression and Risk Factor Modelling
摘要
With heart disease remaining one of the leading causes of death globally, there is a growing need for interpretable and efficient tools for early prediction. This paper presents a logistic regression framework using the UCI Heart Disease dataset, emphasizing interpretable feature scaling and clinically meaningful risk stratification. Features are normalized to a [1–5] range, producing a continuous risk factor score further stratified into five categories. The model achieves an accuracy of 80.11%, precision of 78.30%, recall of 88.61%, F1-score of 83.13%, and AUC of 0.7910. These results highlight the model’s balance between performance and interpretability, making it suitable for integration into electronic health record (EHR) systems and mobile triage tools.
