Summary
This study looks at how gut bacteria are linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes in New Caledonia, where these conditions are very common. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and stool samples from 270 adults to analyze their gut microbes and related chemicals. The goal is to better understand these diseases in this population, not to test a new treatment.
