Gait foundation model predicts health phenotypes from 3D motion

Read original source →nature.com

Trained on 3D skeletal motion from 3,328 adults across 5 motor tasks, the model significantly predicted 1,887 of 3,210 tested phenotypes, beating engineered gait features on BMI (r=0.91) and visceral fat (r=0.83). Gait embeddings improved prediction in all 18 body systems in males and 17 of 18 in females.
