Gut microbiome of Indians, Indo-immigrants and Canadians
Cross-sectional study of 174 stool samples from healthy adults (and one adolescent) in India and Canada, comparing gut microbiota of Indians, Indo-Immigrants, Indo-Canadians, and Euro-Canadian/Euro-Immigrant controls to assess effects of westernization. machine-written summary

- The adoption of a westernized gut microbiome in Indian Immigrants and Indo-Canadians is associated with dietary acculturation. 2025 PMID 40753175 PMC12317999 own_data
Archive description
Our aim was to characterize the gut microbiome of Indians residing in India, Indian immigrants in Canada and Indians born in Canada (Indo-Canadians) to assess the role of immigration and westernization on the gut microbiome in Indian populations.
