This medRxiv preprint presents a healthcare application of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) using the MLJAR platform for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) screening. The study developed multiple machine learning models using only easy-to-measure anthropometric variables such as BMI and waist-to-hip ratio. The models achieved good discriminative performance (AUC up to 0.826) using 15-fold cross-validation on a cohort of 4,053 subjects. The work demonstrates how zero-code AutoML can enable cost-effective medical screening solutions without requiring programming expertise.
