A Cohort Study of the Influence of the 12-Component Modified Japanese Diet Index on Oral and Gut Microbiota in the Japanese General Population.

ABSTRACT: The Japanese diet is a healthy dietary pattern, and the oral or gut microbiota have been identified as the main factors underlying the beneficial effects of the Japanese diet. However, epidemiological studies on Japanese dietary patterns calculated from daily eating habits in the general population yielded inconsistent findings. This study aimed to determine the association between the 12-component modified Japanese Diet Index (mJDI12) and the oral and gut microbiota in the general population of a rural area in Japan. After propensity-score matching, 396 participants (198 each in the low and high mJDI12 groups) were picked out. One year after the follow up survey, we reclassified the subjects and compared the low and high mJDI12 groups again. Participants with a high mJDI12 had a higher re
