Fig. 6: The panel of 30 species showing the strongest overall correlations with a selection of markers of nutritional and cardiometabolic health.

Fig. 6:

The 30 species with the highest and lowest average ranks with diverse positive and negative cardiometabolic health and healthy diet indicators, respectively, are shown here. The rank of each microbe’s correlation with individual indicators is written within cells when significant (p<0.05). For each of the main categories of indices, we selected up to five representative markers (for “Personal” we considered only four as the remaining were highly correlated with visceral fat or not relevant in this context). Indices can be considered “positive” and “negative” depending on whether higher or lower values are a proxy for more or less healthy conditions.
