Figure 3

The relationships of the bacterial taxa at the genus level and clinical data, lifestyle activity, dietary intake, and metabolic profiles were determined using Spearman correlation and visualized using a heatmap. The color of the heatmap shows positive (red) and negative correlations (blue). Significant associations are marked with asterisks. ALT: alanine aminotransferase; DFperC: dietary fiber intake, g per 1,000 kcal; FFMI: fat-free mass index; FMI; fat mass index; FI: fasting insulin; FPG: fasting plasma glucose; HDL-C: high density lipoprotein cholesterol; HOMA-IR: Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance; LDL-C: low density lipoprotein cholesterol; TC: total calories; VFA: visceral fat area.
