What this trial studies

Le French Gut is a national initiative aimed at collecting 100,000 fecal samples along with nutritional and clinical data from participants across France by 2027. The project seeks to understand the diversity of gut microbiomes in healthy individuals and their connections to diet, lifestyle, and various diseases such as diabetes, obesity, and neurodegenerative disorders. Participants will complete an online questionnaire regarding their lifestyle and medical history, followed by home stool sampling. This data will contribute to a larger global effort to map human microbiota and its implications for health.
