Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The population-level heterogeneity of obesity has yet to be systematically investigated. We aimed to apply the data dimensionality reduction tree (DDRTree) method to obese individuals and to examine how distinct phenotypic patterns align with different outcomes. METHODS: To characterize the heterogeneity of obesity, a two-dimensional (2D) tree structure based on the DDRTree algorithm was employed....
