Summary
This study is designed as a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the potential of diagnostic procedures in defining populations of patients self-reporting unexpected and uncontrollable episodes of body odor and/or halitosis. The cohort - generally healthy individuals who had underwent multiple diagnostic tests recommended by their physicians and had not been diagnosed with any known medical condition - expressed their interest in trying gastrointestinal and nutritional diagnostic tests offered by Biolab Medical Unit. Our retrospective analysis will determine if these tests were useful as potential screening tools for metabolic body odor and halitosis.
