Fecal Microbiota and Metabolites Predict Metabolic Health Features across Various Dietary Patterns in Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Consuming healthful dietary patterns reduces risk of developing metabolic diseases and nourishes the intestinal microbiota. Thus, investigating the microbial underpinnings of dietary influences on metabolic health is of clinical interest.

Objectives

This study aimed to determine the unique contributions of fecal taxa and metabolites in predicting metabolic health markers in adults across various dietary patterns.

Methods

Dietary, metabolic, and fecal microbiota and metabolome data from 118 adults (25-45 y) were used for these cross-sectional analyses. The Diet History Questionnaire II assessed adherence to the dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH), Mediterranean diet, Mediterranean-DASH intervention for neurocognitive delay (MIND), and the Healthy
