A multicomponent biomarker is a group of biological markers tested together to provide a comprehensive assessment of health, e.g., a lipid panel (blood test) that measures total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides. These four entities would occupy four rows with the component_index from 1 to 4.

Example of a multicomponent single-entity biomarker:

biomarker_index component_index entity_index assessed_biomarker_entity
1 1 1 total cholesterol
1 2 1 LDL
1 3 1 HDL
1 4 1 triglycerides
