Objective:

To explore the characteristics and interrelationships between metabolic clusters (MCs) and microbial age (MA) in high-risk populations with diabetes.

Key Findings:
  • Diabetes is associated with metabolic disorders that increase CVD risk.
  • Gut microbiota composition reflects the host's biological age and may influence metabolic functions.
Interpretation:

Limitations:
  • The study is based on secondary analysis of existing data, which may limit the scope of findings.
  • The focus on healthy states may not capture the full spectrum of metabolic and microbiome interactions during illness.
Conclusion:

The study aims to deepen understanding of the relationship between metabolism and microbiota in high-risk populations with diabetes.
