Gut microbiome profiling of 1,511 individuals across different obesity classes
This project investigates the gut microbiome composition of 1,511 individuals classified into four BMI-based obesity categories: Underweight, Normal weight, Overweight, and Obese. Fecal samples were collected and subjected to 16S rRNA gene sequencing to profile bacterial communities. The goal of this study is to explore microbiome alterations associated with obesity and identify microbial signatures that correlate with BMI and metabolic health status.
