Our findings highlight potential additional parameters that should be taken into consideration alongside the commonly used biomarkers for classifying metabolic health in women. These include albumin, urea, total calcium, ferritin, chloride, prolactin, c-peptide, albumin-creatinine ratio, and whole-body mineral density. Moreover, our results also suggest that MHO may represent a transitional phase preceding the development of the MUO phenotype.
