Our study within the MetaCardis @FP7_Projects is out in @nature ! “Statin therapy associates with lower prevalence of gut microbiota dysbiosis” @RaesLab @ClementLab #humanmicrobiome #obesity #statin nature.com/articles/s4158… (thread) (1/7) 
We explored the gut microbiota of nearly 900 individuals with BMI=[18-73]. While only 4% of lean/overweight participants were carriers of a previously described aberrant community-type (Bact2 enterotype), percentages sharply rose to 18% in obese participants. (2/7)
This dysbiotic enterotype with low microbial load, low diversity, and depleted in the anti-inflammatory Faecalibacterium, was previously detected in up to 78% of patients with IBD rdcu.be/bWz4m and 26% of people with reported depression rdcu.be/bWz3Q (3/7)
