a

ORs and 95% CIs per SD increase in centered log-ratio (clr)-transformed absolute abundance of taxa and P values were derived from meta-analyses.

b

ORs and 95% CIs per SD increase in clr-transformed absolute abundance of taxa and P values were calculated from conditional logistic regression models, additionally adjusting for age, education, pack-years of smoking, drinking status, hypertension status and type 2 diabetes (T2D) status.
