A cross-sectional analysis was conducted by pooling data from the CADIP (DRKS00017537), ALAC (DRKS00020384), and NUTRIMMUN (DRKS00019887) cohorts, including 269 participants aged 25–76 years with heterogeneous metabolic profiles. Dietary quality was assessed using validated dietary indices, metabolic risk was quantified by a continuous metabolic syndrome score, and fecal microbiome composition was determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.ENAfalseCAN StudyCAN Study (CADIP–ALAC–NUTRIMMUN): Diet, Gut Microbiome and Metabolic Risk2025-09-182025-09-18PRJEB97794
