人类微生物组代表了理解人类健康生物学的新前沿。虽然这一领域的流行病学仍处于起步阶段,但其范围在未来几年可能会急剧扩大。为了应对这一挑战,我们认为流行病学应该利用其“人群视角”作为分子微生物组研究的重要补充,从而阐明可能在人群而不是个体之间差异更大的背景机制。我们首先简要回顾了当前关于社会背景和肠道微生物组的研究,特别关注社会经济地位(SES)和种族/民族。接下来,我们通过一个特定领域的透镜来反思微生物组流行病学的现状-肠道微生物组与代谢紊乱的关联。我们确定了当前流行病学研究在这一领域的主要方法学缺陷,包括广泛的选择偏倚,使用非组成稳健的措施,以及缺乏对社会因素作为混杂因素或影响因素的关注。
The human microbiome represents a new frontier in understanding the biology of human health. While epidemiology in this area is still in its infancy, its scope will likely expand dramatically over the coming years. To rise to the challenge, we argue that epidemiology should capitalize on its “population perspective” as a critical complement to molecular microbiome research, allowing for the illumination of contextual mechanisms that may vary more across populations rather than individuals. We first briefly review current research on social context and the gut microbiome, focusing specifically on socioeconomic status (SES) and race/ethnicity. Next, we reflect on the current state of microbiome epidemiology through the lens of one specific area--the association of the gut microbiome and metabolic disorders. We identify key methodological shortcomings of current epidemiological research in this area, including extensive selection bias, the use of non-compositionally robust measures, and a lack of attention to social factors as confounders or effect modifiers.
