Human Gut Microbes Associated with Systolic Blood Pressure

Figure 3

Gut microbial association with systolic blood pressure. A multivariate generalized linear mixed model (GLMM) was constructed to identify the association of gut microbe composition (random effect) with 15 host factors (fixed effect). Strong association was observed between systolic blood pressure and (a) species richness, (b) Shannon’s diversity, and (c) PCo1 using Bray–Curtis distance. The line is fitted linear model.
