🥁 NEW publication out www.nature.com/articles/s41...

based on the ZOE PREDICT cohorts involving 
33,596 healthy people
from 5 cross-sectional studies from 🇬🇧 &🇺🇸 with
gut microbiome samples,
detailed individual information and
dietary habits!

Check out the 🧵of key findings ⬇️
I'm very happy to share our latest manuscript published today in @nature.com !!
➡️ doi.org/10.1038/s415...
We analyzed data from over 34,000 participants in the US and UK, revealing strong associations between specific gut bacteria and markers of cardiometabolic health and dietary habits.
