Observational study shows gut microbiota predicts obesity treatment outcomes in children, suggesting personalized strategies may improve efficacy.
Higher baseline gut microbiota diversity and specific microbial signatures, particularly Faecalibacterium abundance, predicted better outcomes in childhood obesity interventions. These findings support the potential use of microbiota profiling to guide personalised treatment strategies. Further research is needed to optimise interventions.Trial registration: clinicaltrials.gov NCT03749291.
