DHEA-S Correlation

Meaning

The statistical relationship or association observed between the circulating levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) and other measurable physiological or clinical parameters, such as age, bone mineral density, cognitive function, or mood state. DHEA-S is the sulfated, highly abundant, and long-lived precursor to sex hormones, serving as a critical biomarker for adrenal function and overall hormonal reserve. Establishing this correlation is vital for interpreting DHEA-S values within the context of a patient’s overall health and longevity profile.
