Individual Nutrition Is Associated with Altered Gut Microbiome Composition for Adults with Food Insecurity.

ABSTRACT: Diet is widely recognized as a key contributor to human gut microbiome composition and function. However, overall nutrition can be difficult to compare across a population with varying diets. Moreover, the role of food security in the relationship with overall nutrition and the gut microbiome is unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between personalized nutrition scores, variation in the adult gut microbiome, and modification by food insecurity. The data originate from the Survey of the Health of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin Microbiome Study. Individual nutrition scores were assessed using My Nutrition Index (MNI), calculated using data from food frequency questionnaires, and additional health history and demographic surveys. Food security and covariate data were measured
