Researchers are studying the bacteria that live in your gut and how they change in people with serious chronic diseases like cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, and others. By comparing samples from patients with these diseases to samples from healthy people, they hope to find patterns in gut bacteria that could help doctors diagnose and understand these conditions better.
Scientists have noticed that people with serious diseases often have different gut bacteria than healthy people, but we don't yet have clear patterns that doctors can use to help diagnose disease or predict outcomes. This large study across China aims to create a detailed map of these bacterial differences so we can develop better diagnostic tools.
You will visit the study center to provide samples of your stool, saliva, blood, and urine. The researchers will also ask you questions about your medical history, diet, lifestyle, medications, and demographics, and will take some body measurements. This is an observational study, meaning you will not receive any new treatment — the researchers are simply collecting information and samples to study how gut bacteria vary across diseases.
