Physiological Baselines

Meaning

Physiological baselines are the individualized, stable reference values for a comprehensive set of biomarkers, vital signs, and functional metrics that characterize an individual’s optimal state of health when they are free from acute stress or disease. Establishing these baselines is critical for personalized medicine, as they provide the true point of comparison against which future changes or responses to therapeutic interventions can be accurately measured. These metrics move beyond standard population averages.
