Abstract

This paper investigates data for 9 common Alzheimer's Disease risk factors, from three different categories; Medical History, Lifestyle, and Demography. The dataset used consists of 185 normal control, 177 early mild cognitive impairment, 161 late mild cognitive impairment and 127 Alzheimer's Disease subjects. The initial experiment had training results of 0.92 sensitivity, 0.935 specificity and 0.771 precision. However, during the test stage the final output was 0.741 sensitivity, 0.515 specificity and 0.286 precision. The results of this experiment did not give a clear classification or definite predictive value. Involving more variables and underlying data could provide a better outcome. This paper is a part of a long-term study that focuses on the classification and ranking the importance of Alzheimer's Disease risk factors using Machine Learning predictive models and classifications techniques.
