Association between serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels and body weight status among US adults: findings from NHANES 2021–2023

Key Points

• Body weight status is significantly associated with serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels among adults.
• Findings indicate that variability in dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels correlates with different body mass index groups.
• Analysis from NHANES data (2021-2023) highlights critical associations relevant to metabolic health.
• This relationship suggests potential avenues for exploring hormonal influences on weight management.
