Could the bioenergetic health index become the next BMI?

A number of chronic diseases that have widespread effects on worldwide populations, such as cancer, neurodegeneration and cardio-metabolic syndromes, are known to have a connection to mitochondrial bioenergetics, the process by which cells create and use energy. The bioenergetic health index has the potential to be a new biomarker for assessing patient health for both prognostic and diagnostic value, experts now say.
