The importance of the risk factors was ranked. By partly using continuous versus categorical age, waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) risk factors, we evaluated the screening performance regarding sensitivity and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The external validations revealed that the XGBoost model performed the best in hypertension screening. The external validation, which partly uses continuous variables, provides 0.97 sensitivity and 0.75 AUC, indicating excellent screening capability. The importance rank of the risk factors was consecutively family history of hypertension (FH-HTN), age, WC, BMI, occupation, education, sex, smoking, low physical activity, lack of fruit or vegetable intake and alcohol consumption.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>By using 11 easy-to-collect non-laboratory risk factors, the ML model successfully screens for hypertension with better performance than the benchmark. Using the numerical variables of age, WC and BMI yields a better discrimination capability than the categorical variables. FH-HTN and age are the two top risk factors for the development of hypertension.
