Summary

Salivary biomarkers hold promise as non-invasive indicators of obesity-related metabolic dysfunction, particularly in MUO. However, their clinical diagnostic utility remains uncertain due to heterogeneity in study designs, a lack of biomarker validation, and limited longitudinal studies. Further research is needed to establish their bona fide diagnostic potential.
