Gut microbial clusters in children show different cardiometabolic responses to wholegrains – a post hoc analysis of a randomized wholegrain trial in children

Key Points

• Gut microbial clusters influenced responses to wholegrain intake, specifically affecting body fat and HDL cholesterol levels.
• Children with varying gut microbiomes showed different impacts from wholegrain consumption on cardiometabolic markers.
• Analysis from a randomized trial revealed a connection between diet and gut microbiota diversity in children.
• These findings point to the significance of microbiome considerations in dietary recommendations for children.
