Results are based on a PubMed database search conducted on April 27, 2023. Search terms included the condition of interest along with metabolom* and NMR, GC-MS, or LC-MS. Each search was conducted separately; as such, it is possible that studies using more than one technology were counted twice. Search terms used for “mental health” included mental health, mental wellness, psychological distress, depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD. Search terms for “adiposity” included adiposity, BMI, body-mass index, WHR, waist-hip ratio, or obesity. Search terms for “COVID-19” included COVID-19, 2019-nCoV, SARS-CoV-2, Coronavirus-2, or coronavirus 19. Search terms for “Cardiovascular” included cardiovascular, stroke, heart failure, coronary artery disease, coronary heart disease, venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular mortality, or major cardiovascular event.
