How robust are the health associations? Do you have any published research to support these?

Your in app results show which of your gut bacteria are associated with 4 health-linked clusters. Below are the clusters and their associated biomarkers:

  • Inflammation & Immune Health: This cluster is associated with GlycA, a biomarker of chronic low-grade inflammation.

  • Blood Sugar Control: This is linked to markers of glucose regulation and insulin production (HbA1c, fasting glucose, C-peptide).

  • Heart & Cholesterol Health: This cluster is associated with blood lipid markers like HDL, total cholesterol, triglycerides, and lipoprotein particle size.

  • Healthy Fat Distribution: This is connected to markers of visceral fat, liver fat ad BMI.

These correlations are derived from vast datasets, with statistical analysis that adjusts for age and sex. This ensures our findings are as accurate and personalised as possible.

ZOE’s microbiome research is due to be published soon
