ItemCreatinine prediction from body composition a neural network approach( 2011) Thitipong Tanprasert ; Chularat TanprasertCreatinine, a naturally-produced chemical compound in blood, has been commonly used as a reliable indicator of kidney function. Creatinine level is typically obtained from blood-test. In this paper, a technique for predicting the criticality of creatinine level in blood is presented. The proposed technique takes only body size and mass parameters obtained from advanced weighing scale and body scanner, allowing the prediction to be done more casually. The technique applies a multi-layered feed-forward neural network for developing the prediction model. The achieved overall prediction accuracy is in the vicinity of 88% where the average false negative rate and the average false positive rate are 22.15% and 8.26%, respectively.
