We measured blood biomarkers by @NgaleHealth metabolomics in >100,000 samples from @uk_biobank. Blood samples were collected 10 years ago, metabolomics data became available late-May. This initiative will lead to many papers - we started with COVID-19. Summary on what we found 👇
Various blood biomarkers have been linked with COVID-19 severity, but most studies use samples from already infected patients. For preventative screening we need pre-COVID-19 samples, lots of samples, to study enough people with severe COVID-19 vs many metabolic biomarkers.
