Article Synopsis
- Gut microbiota may influence blood lipid levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, with differences observed among various ethnic groups.
- A study involving 3,860 participants without CVD history showed that specific gut microbes were linked to CVD phenotypes, often varying by ethnicity, using machine learning and Mendelian randomization methods.
- Key findings include protective microbes like Akkermansia muciniphila associated with ischaemic heart disease in certain ethnicities and a significant inverse relationship between blood lipids and the abundance of a microbial cluster named CMR.
