The prospective association between long-term weight change and gut microbiota. A Gut microbes that were associated with the normal to adiposity group compared with the stable normal group. Multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate the difference in the abundance of gut microbes (in SD unit of the log-transformed abundance) comparing the normal to adiposity group with the stable normal group, adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, alcohol status, education, income, physical activity, total energy intake, Bristol stool score, time interval, and corresponding baseline microbe abundance. B Gut microbes that were associated with the stable adiposity group compared with the stable normal group. Multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate the difference in the abundance of gut microbes (in SD unit of the log-transformed abundance) comparing the stable adiposity group with the stable normal group, adjusted for age, sex, smoking status, alcohol status, education, income, physical activity, total energy intake, Bristol stool score, time interval, and corresponding baseline microbe abundance. CI, confidence interval; FDR, false discovery rate
