Abstract

This paper presents the application of an approach based on the Bayesian Networks technique to minimize nephropathy risk in type 2 diabetics. This model consists to assess risk factors of type 2 diabetes and nephropathy by using prevalence extracted from the World Health Organization statistics and the health status report of Moroccan population of 2012. This prevalence has helped to test the validity of the proposed model and to develop relationships between various factors. This approach has shown the influence of different risk factors and the role of lifestyle modification to minimize nephropathy risk.
