The association between gut microbiota composition and cardiometabolic parameters in healthy adults
The dominant bacterial taxa differed from those reported in other populations, suggesting region-specific microbial profiles. Notably, specific gut microbial genera were associated with metabolic health indicators, including BMI, HbA1c, HOMA-IR, and HDL level. These findings underscore the potential role of gut microbiota in metabolic regulation and support the need for further region-specific research. This study is among the few in Türkiye focusing on healthy adults and contributes to the understanding of gut microbiota in relation to cardiometabolic parameters.
