Quick Glance: Exploring Gut Microbiota for Predicting Multifactorial Disease Risks
  • The study highlights the limited effectiveness of solely examining intestinal microbiota in predicting disease risks.

  • Models that combine phenotypic variables with gut microbiota taxa show improved ability to differentiate between healthy individuals and patients with diseases.
