Association between the dietary index for gut microbiota and metabolic syndrome in adults: the mediating role of body mass index
A notable negative correlation exists between DI-GM score and the prevalence of MetS. The promotion of a healthy lifestyle can strengthen this correlation, with BMI serving as a crucial mediating factor. This underscores the potential of dietary interventions that focus on gut microbiota in conjunction with weight management as targeted strategies for the prevention and management of MetS.
