Title Assessment of Urbanization, Staple Food Type and Ethnicity Associations with Gut Microbiota in Healthy Chinese Population
Relevance Human Fecal Samples
Data types Raw sequence reads
Organisms human gut metagenome
Description The gut microbiota could affect human health and disease. Although disease-associated microbiota alteration has been extensively investigated in the Chinese population, a nation-wide Chinese gut microbiota baseline is still lacking. Here we performed 16S rRNA gene sequencing on fecal samples from 2,678 healthy Chinese individuals, who belonged to eight ethnic groups and resided in 63 counties/cities of 28 provinces. Besides, we assessed the association between the gut microbiota and 20 variables belonging to six categories, geography, demography, diet, urbanization, lifestyle and sampling month. Our study provided a nation-wide gut microbiota baseline of the Chinese population and knowledge on important covariates.
