Exploring the Predictive Value of 2D:4D Ratio in Cardiovascular Diseases and Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review
While current evidence suggests a potential link between 2D:4D ratios, especially on the right hand, and cardiometabolic risk, inconsistencies remain. These findings highlight the need for further longitudinal and large-scale studies to determine the utility of the 2D:4D ratio as a noninvasive biomarker for MetS and CVD risk prediction.
