Abstract Predicting risk of future dementia is essential for primary prevention strategies, particularly in the era novel immunotherapies. However, few studies have developed population-level prediction models using existing routine healthcare data. In this longitudinal retrospective cohort study, we predicted incident and secondary care health records at 5, 10 13 years 144 113 Scottish older adults who were dementia-free prior to 1st April 2009. Gradient-boosting (XGBoost) trained on two...
