Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Blood biomarkers are measured for their ability to characterise physiological and disease states. Much is known about linear relations between blood biomarker concentrations and individual vital signs or adiposity indexes (eg, BMI). Comparatively little is known about non-linear relations with these easily accessible features, particularly when they are modelled in combination and can potentially interact with one another.
