Using artificial intelligence to identify a disease by its symptoms

The relationship between total/HDL cholesterol and BMI can be expressed by simple linear regression models:

\color{White} \large  Total~cholesterol~ \left [ \frac{mg}{dl} \right ]=28.07+6.49 \times BMI~\left [ \frac{kg}{m^{2}} \right ] \color{White} \large  HDL~cholesterol~ \left [ \frac{mg}{dl} \right ]=111.79-2.35 \times BMI~\left [ \frac{kg}{m^{2}} \right ] The relationship between the systolic blood pressure and BMI can be expressed by a simple multiple regression model:

\color{White} \large Systolic~blood~pressure~ \left [ mm~Hg \right ]=68.15 + 0.58 \times BMI ~\left [ \frac{kg}{m^{2}} \right ]+ 0.65  \times Age ~[a]+ 0.94  \times Gender+ 6.44  \times Hypertension~treatment  \color{White} \large Gender =\begin{cases}0& female\\1 & male\end{cases}\color{White} \large Hypertension~treatment =\begin{cases}0& no\\1 & yes\end{cases}Now diabetes type 2 and Framingham risk score calculator can be combined as mentioned in my previous project log. With the data we get from the diabetes type 2 questionnaire, we can compute total/HDL cholesterol and systolic blood pressure which are needed for the Framingham risk score algorithm.
