  1. Six-metabolite signature score improves discrimination between metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity in humans (AUC 0.78 vs 0.69).

    “The combined clinical-metabolomic model showed better discrimination than clinical variables alone in the test set, with AUCs of 0.78 and 0.69, respectively.”

  1. Six-metabolite signature score is associated with cardiovascular comorbidity burden in humans.

    “Within MHO, higher metabolomic score was associated with higher triglycerides, HbA1c, waist-to-hip ratio, lower HDL cholesterol, and greater metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidity burden.”

Six blood metabolites distinguish metabolic health in obesity

A combined clinical-metabolomic model discriminated healthy from unhealthy obesity with an AUC of 0.78, compared with 0.69 for clinical variables…A combined clinical-metabolomic model discriminated healthy from unhealthy obesity with an AUC of 0.78, compared with 0.69 for clinical variables alone.
