Human Gut Microbes Associated with Systolic Blood Pressure

Figure 4

Gut bacteria associated with blood pressure. (a) Identification of 19 bacterial taxa associated with systolic blood pressure using HFE. ASVs were used as features. Systolic blood pressure was categorized into normal (<120 mmHg) and elevated (>120 mmHg), and the binary categories were used to identify bacterial features. (b) Differential relative abundance of the 19 informative ASVs between the two blood pressure groups. Red bars indicate ASVs with higher relative abundance in individuals with high systolic blood pressure, and blue bars indicate ASVs with higher relative abundance in individual with normal blood pressure. (c) Area under curve (AUC) for decision tree, random forest, and naive Bayes.
