In summary, we can predict disease onset based on medical history for ~ 1.900 endpoints at once, without additional measurements required. The approach generalizes across healthcare systems and populations and is competitive with selected disease-specific risk scores.

Absolute risk predictions are likely underestimated due to the UK Biobank cohort being healthier than the general population. If routine health records are to be used, robust governance rules to protect individuals, such as opt-out and usage reports, must be implemented.

There are still important challenges: Health records are subject to biological, procedural, and socio-economic biases, and not all diagnoses are captured explicitly in the records but can be inferred e.g. from medications; thus, discriminative performance can only be approximated.

For illustration, we also present individual phenome-wide risk profiles: Predisposition (Estimated 10-year risk relative to a risk model based on age and sex only) is displayed in the inner circle, and absolute estimated 10-year risk in the outer circle.

We then show that predictive models can generalize across healthcare systems and populations, including communities historically underrepresented in biomedical research. We find discriminative improvements for 1.310 (83.5%) endpoints without retraining in the US All of Us cohort.

We directly compare the model to established risk scores for a subset of cardiovascular diseases. The medical history is competitive to SCORE2, ASCVD, and QRISK3 for cardiovascular diseases, but at no additional effort and cost (no measurements and lab tests required).
