Scientists use blood chemistry to predict disease years before it strikes

Researchers built the largest plasma metabolome-phenome atlas using 274,241 UK Biobank participants, linking over 73,000 metabolite-trait and 52,000 metabolite-disease associations. The study shows metabolic risk scores can predict diseases years before diagnosis, with strong accuracy for diabetes and kidney complications.
