Comparisons of the VFM diet score, alpha diversity and top microbiome and metabolite associations in the low and high MZ VFM-discordant twins. All variables were standardized to have mean=0, s.d.=1. A linear regression was conducted using the VFM diet score, alpha diversity (Shannon index) and top microbiome and metabolite associations to predict VFM in the MZ-discordant (1 s.d. apart in VFM) twin sample. Significantly (P<0.05) higher VFM diet scores and butyrylcarnitine, and lower hippurate were observed with increasing VFM (*).
