    Recently, in a research report titled "Plasma metabolites to profile pathways in noncommunicable disease multimorbidity" published in the international journal Nature Medicine, scientists from the University of Cambridge and other institutions have identified through research that it can increase individual suffering from one or more diseases.


    In the article, researchers conducted a study of more than 11,000 people and found that people with multiple diseases often have potential biological associations in their bodies, rather than accidental reasons.


    Researcher Claudia Langenberg said that we analyzed the levels of 1014 metabolites in the body of more than 11,000 participants in the European Cancer Prospective Cohort Study (EPIC).


    By integrating all existing data to obtain a holistic view, researchers can identify and record the associations between these metabolites and 27 different non-communicable diseases, which often exist in multiple diseases.


    The researchers then analyzed the associations between more than 50 characteristics in the participants’ bodies, including waist-to-hip ratio to smoking behavior, etc.


    Researcher Maik Pietzner added that we found that two-thirds of small molecules may be related to at least two seemingly unrelated diseases.
