The dataset (dataset_individual_results.xlsx) contains 65,795 anonymized laboratory results from tests of Prolactin (PRL), Glucose (GLU), Insulin (INS), Total Cholesterol (TC), HDL-c, LDL-c, and Triglycerides (TG) conducted on adult patients of both sexes in the first half of 2018. Additionally, another dataset (dataset_mean_results.xlsx) includes 106 average results obtained from stratifying the 65,795 results into 106 partitions based on prolactin concentration ranges. Within each partition, the average concentrations of prolactin and tests for glucose and lipid metabolism were computed.
