Online now: Gut microbiome composition and functional potential associate with incident type 2 diabetes in 4,685 adults from a Swedish prospective cohort
Toubon et al. show that the gut microbiome measured years before diagnosis predicts future type 2 diabetes risk. Using a large prospective Swedish cohort of 4,685 adults, they identify specific microbial species and metabolic pathways associated with diabetes incidence, advancing understanding of the microbiome’s role in diabetes development and prevention.
