Abbreviations: ADD, Average Danish Diet; NND, New Nordic Diet; P/B, Prevotella-to-Bacteroides; WC, Waist circumference.

Data are presented as estimated mean body fat, body weight and waist circumference change from baseline and 95% confidence intervals for each combination of the diet-P/B strata interaction after 26 weeks in the linear mixed models, which were additionally adjusted for age, gender, baseline BMI, fasting glucose and insulin as well as random effects for subjects.

a

P-value representing the difference in dietary response within the high P/B group.

b

P-value representing the difference in dietary response within the low P/B group.

c

P-value representing the difference in response to NND between the P/B groups.

d

P-value representing the difference in response to ADD between the P/B groups.

e

P-value representing the following pairwise comparison using post hoc t-tests: Δ(NND-ADD) among subjects with high P/B−Δ(NND-ADD) among subjects with low P/B.

f

Sensitivity analyses excluding the eight subjects with Prevotella spp. below the detection limit.
