Sarcopenia and frailty have been associated with low aging population capacities for exercise and high metabolic instability. To date, the current models merely support one classification with an accuracy of 83%. The models also reflect overfitting dataset complexities in predicting the accuracy and detecting the misclassifications of rare diseases. As multiple classifications led to incongruent data analyses and methods, each evaluation yielded inaccurate results regarding high prediction accuracy. This study intends to contribute to the current medical informatics literature by comparing the most optimal model to identify relevant patterns and parameters for prediction model development. The methods were duly assessed on a real dataset together with the classification model. Meanwhile, the obesity physical frailty (OPF) model was presented as a conceptual study model. A matrix of accuracy, classification, and feature selection was also utilized to compare the computer output and deep learning models against current counterparts. Essentially, the study findings predicted that an individuals' risk of sarcopenia corresponded to physical frailty. Each model was compared with an accuracy matrix to determine the best-fitting model. Resultantly, logistic regression produced the highest results with an accuracy rate of 97.69% compared to the other four study models.
