In the initial feature selection step, we removed the following features which were above the P < 0.10 threshold: Townsend deprivation score, ethnicity, platelets, apolipoprotein B, low density lipoprotein, total protein, systolic BP, statin use, disease history for CVD, IBD, liver-biliary disease and diabetes, education level, sleep duration, mean corpuscular volume, neutrophils, eosinophils, nucleated RBCs, albumin, ALP, AST, glucose, HbA1C, and phosphate. This evidence concerns the gene APOB and inflammatory bowel disease.
