Synthetic Comparative Analysis of Cardiovascular Disease Profiles Using Quantum Information Measures in Indian and Global Populations
Background/Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) represent the foremost public health challenge of recent days. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), nearly 32% of people die from CVDs each year. This paper introduces a quantum-inspired, information-theoretic framework for comparing CVD risk-factor architectures in modeled Indian and global populations. Methods: Each synthetic population is represented as a population state matrix (ρ) built from discretized epidemiological variables (age, sex, smoking, diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia). Systemic uncertainty is quantified with von Neumann entropy (equivalent to Shannon entropy for diagonal states), inter-factor dependence with Systemic Mutual Information (SMI), and synthetic population similarity with Uhlmann fidelity. Results: In illustrative modeled scenarios (N=10,000 synthetic profiles per synthetic population), diabetes entropy is higher in the Indian comparator (0.88 …
