Interactions Between Gut Microbiome and Obesity
The primary goal of this study is to identify and validate microbial and genetic biomarkers associated with obesity and body mass index (BMI) and to assess how these biomarkers change in response to dietary and lifestyle interventions. By integrating longitudinal data on weight trajectories, gut microbiome composition, genetic predisposition, and clinical questionnaire responses, the study aims to uncover biologically relevant signatures that can inform personalized obesity management strategies. This research is highly relevant in the global obesity epidemic, where conventional approaches often fail to account for individual variability in metabolic response. The findings have the potential to advance precision nutrition and targeted therapeutic interventions by identifying individuals who may benefit most from specific dietary or lifestyle modifications based on their unique biological profiles.
