Cardiovascular health It includes total lipids, parameters related to atherogenic risk, lipoprotein oxidation index and cholesterol elimination efficiency indicators.  Inflammation This includes parameters of glycoprotein metabolism. Inflammation is a sign of metabolic stress that may indicate the possible alteration of other parameters. Energy metabolism This includes parameters concerning the metabolism of glucose and ketone bodies, as well as some amino acids. Muscle Mass This includes amino acids important to muscle function and that have been associated to sports performance. Kidney function Creatinine is one of the compounds used to estimate renal function. It is important to maintain adequate values to ensure proper metabolism. Anthropometric parameters This section includes data on the individual such as biological age and sex, as well as the calculation of body mass index (BMI) from their weight and height.  This allows people to be classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese. Based on the BMI result, we obtain the score and percentage of this section. The percentage obtained is penalized if other possible comorbidities obtained from the MetBalance test variables are detected. A combination of proper diet and exercise helps maintain a healthy balance of anthropometric parameters and metabolic health.
