  1. IgG or IgA, and kappa or lambda indicate the involved, clonal immunoglobulin heavy chain and light chain, respectively, of the plasma cell neoplasia 1MGUS risk stratification [7]; 2SMM risk stratification [22]. IQR = Interquartile range; BMI = Body mass index; MGUS = Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance; SMM = Smouldering Multiple Myeloma; PAL = Physical activity level (measured using BodyMedia Core device)
