Serum sST2 and sIL1RAcP Levels in Lean and Obese Individuals

Serum levels of soluble ST2 (sST2) and soluble IL1RAcP (sIL1RAcP) measured in lean and obese individuals. The dataset includes measurements in ng/ml along with age, sex, and BMI for each sample. Data was collected by Henry McSorley from the Edinburgh Adipose Tissue Biobank and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Compare biomarker levels between lean and obese groups based on BMI classification.
• Investigate correlations between sST2 or sIL1RAcP levels and demographic factors like age and sex.
• Assess the potential of sST2 and sIL1RAcP as clinical indicators for obesity-related inflammation.

Strengths

• Includes specific biomarker measurements (sST2 and sIL1RAcP) in ng/ml.
• Contains key clinical variables: age, sex, and BMI for each sample.
• Sourced from a biobank with a research ethics committee reference (20/ES/0061).

Limitations

• The dataset is very small (14.4 KB), indicating limited scope.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
