Figure 1

DBN obtained on the training dataset. Static variables are reported in orange, dynamic variables in blue, the time variable in magenta, and the survival in green, while the outcomes, i.e., T2D, hypertension, and heart problems onset, are in yellow. Edges representing a direct influence of a variable on the outcome nodes are marked in red for cardio-metabolic comorbidities, and in green for survival. The loops on the dynamic variables indicate the influence of the variable at a time (t-1) on itself at the subsequent time (t).
