Cover Story: Can artificial intelligence help predict deaths linked to metabolic and endocrine diseases? This study presents explainable machine learning models trained on geolocalized air pollution data across Italy. By linking environmental exposures to regional mortality outcomes, this study offers a transparent, data-driven approach to understanding how pollutants contribute to endocrine, nutritional, and metabolic conditions. The integration of explainability strengthens trust and interpretability, marking a key step toward actionable, AI-powered public health strategies. View this paper
