Patterns of Gut Microbial Changes Linked to Obesity

We have recently come across an intriguing article written by Chanda et al. [1] that delves into the patterns of gut microbial changes associated with obesity and the consistent factors contributing to functional shifts. We consider this topic to be of significant importance to both individuals with obesity and healthcare professionals, as it illuminates the potential underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The worldwide incidence of obesity, affecting roughly 2 billion individuals, is a major health issue attributed to inactive lifestyles and poor eating habits. It is a leading risk factor for metabolic diseases [2].
