Gut microbiome mediates the association between dietary quality and metabolic risk in a heterogeneous adult population
Better dietary quality is associated with lower metabolic risk and positive gut microbiome signatures across taxonomic, functional, and stability-related aspects. Certain taxa statistically mediated these associations, highlighting gut microbiome features that may contribute to observed links between dietary patterns and metabolic health.
