Fiber-rich Foods, Weight Status, and the Gut Microbiota: A Comparative Study in NH Hispanic Adults at Risk for Food Insecurity
In Brief
An observational study for Food Insecurity and Overweight and Obesity. Completed, enrolled 61 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will include a group of 60 Hispanic adults living in New Hampshire with or without overweight/obesity. The study aims to assess food access and intake of fiber-rich foods, characterize fecal microbiota composition, and assess the relationship between the intake of fiber-rich foods and components of the gut microbiota-gut-brain axis. These aims will be accomplished through biospecimen collection including a pre-collected stool sample, a fasting blood sample, and a Mixed Meal Tolerance Test (MMTT). In addition, participants will answer questionnaires on dietary intake, food insecurity and access, physical activity, eating behavior, and sociodemographic characteristics.
