The dietary index for gut microbiota, genetically predicted gut microbiome, and the risk of chronic kidney disease: a cohort study

Key Points

• This research examines the relationship between the dietary index for gut microbiota and the risk of chronic kidney disease.
• Conducted a cohort study with participants assessed for dietary intake and gut microbiota diversity.
• Utilized genetic data to predict gut microbiome composition.
• Analyzed the association between dietary index and chronic kidney disease incidence.
• Higher dietary index scores linked to a lower risk of chronic kidney disease.
• Genetically predicted gut microbiome showed significant associations with chronic kidney disease risk.
• Implications suggest dietary modifications could be beneficial for kidney health.
