Abstract:
The composition of the Gut Microbiome(GM)is regulated by numerous factors,including geography,ethnicity,diet,and genetics.This review systematically synthesizes studies on the GM across different geographic regions and ethnic minority groups in China.It focuses on elucidating the impact of geographical factors and ethnic backgrounds on GM composition and structure and provides an in-depth discussion on the association between ethnicity-specific microbial taxa,their metabolic functions,and susceptibility to diseases.By systematically comparing microbial compositional differences in microbiota-related diseases among different populations,this review aims to uncover the underlying patterns.The findings are expected to provide a theoretical foundation for ethnicity-specific GM research,the elucidation of disease mechanisms,and the development of targeted prevention and control strategies.
