Heart tracing models show age gaps that appear rooted in data
Median worst-group gaps in distinguishing outcomes were 0.028 by age, versus 0.004 by sex and 0.016 by race.Median worst-group gaps in distinguishing outcomes were 0.028 by age, versus 0.004 by sex and 0.016 by race.

What changedHeart-event prediction accuracy was lower in older patients: AUROC 0.64-0.71 versus 0.81-0.90 in younger patients
