Abstract
Immune health has been considered impossible to assess through the use of traditional biomarkers. The newly devised immune health metric (IHM) integrates diverse biological data to quantify immune function, offering a comprehensive indicator for the evaluation of immune health. The potential of the IHM to distinguish healthy individuals from patients with monogenic or polygenic immune-mediated diseases might lead to revolutionary changes in treatment strategies for rheumatic diseases.
