@fjorios@hkustroke@HyperAHA@AnastasiaSMihai A7 Yes definitely a possibility. We found IL18 increased with hypertensive individuals and positively associated with various species. Although this doesnt directly infer gut inflammation, it would be interesting to further look at local markers in the future. #HYPHIP@HyperAHA
@AnastasiaSMihai@hkustroke@HyperAHA A6.2We also know that hormonal changes are likely factors to influence the GM where events such as menopause are important factors to be considered. Our cohort age range limits these possible covariates such that assocations with hypertension can be isolated to GM disreg. #HYPHIP
@AnastasiaSMihai@hkustroke@HyperAHA A6.1. There is various evidence demonstrating the dynamic altering composition of the gut microbiome over age, and how it may differently influence the onset of disease. Certain species such as B. adolescentis are known to decrease with an aging population @HyperAHA#HYPHIP
@AnastasiaSMihai@fjorios@HyperAHA@hkustroke A4. Yes, weekly dietary intake was logged by a trained research personnel. You can can find more details in the supplementary methods. No obvious difference in dietary profiles was observed across the whole cohort and across genders. #HYPHIP@HyperAHA
