This research develops Bayesian methods to identify important cardiovascular risk factors and features, suggesting better predictive models for CVD.

The aim is to enhance understanding of cardiovascular disease risk factors and their features using advanced Bayesian methods for feature selection.
Develop a modified Bayesian sparse group selection (BSGS) method for joint models.
Perform simulations to evaluate the effectiveness of the new feature selection method.
Apply the modified method to data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.
Analyze associations between CVD risk factors, features, and mortality.
Identified systolic and diastolic blood pressure, glucose, and total cholesterol as major risk factors.
Demonstrated that the new method efficiently excludes unimportant features while selecting relevant ones for CVD.
Highlighted different important features associated with CVD death in both men and women.
