Objective: This study investigates the gut microbiome of Indians residing in India, Indian immigrants in Canada, and Canadians of Indian ancestry to understand the impact of westernization on their gut. Given the higher risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) among Indo-Canadians, these results provide insight into how westernization of the gut microbiome may influence incidence of IBD. Design: Stool samples were collected from healthy Indians in India, Immigrants born in India, Indo-Canadians, plus Canadian-borne individuals with European descent and Euro-Immigrants as non-Indian/westernized controls (N = 174).16S and shotgun sequencing compared microbial taxa and functional profiles across groups. Dietary and demographic data were collected to assess lifestyle patterns. Results: The microbiome of Indians and Indo-Immigrants were found to be distinct from westernized groups, with high abundances of Prevotella spp. and CAZymes known to facilitate the breakdown of plant-based foods, reflecting their traditional high complex carbohydrate diet. The Indian microbiome also showed characteristics of high bacterial cell turnover, pathogenic potential and stress tolerance, indicating their gut may be better primed to handle stressors on the gut. Indo-Canadians exhibited a transitional gut microbiome, harbouring taxa both common to Indians and westernized groups, which followed a pattern of increasing dietary acculturation. Conclusions: The transition from a non-westernized to westernized microbiome in Canadian-borne Indian migrants highlights the significant influence that the westernized lifestyle and dietary acculturation has on the gut microbiome. Considering globalization and immigration to westernized countries is occurring at a rapid rate, with 40.6% of the Canadian population made up of first- and second-generation immigrants,1 future research should investigate the health implications that such microbiome transitions have on immigrant populations and newly industrialized nations.

Many women of reproductive age have poor diet quality and are at higher risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes. Triglycerides are a critical risk factor for chronic diseases, and although they can be influenced by diet, there are minimal dietary intervention studies identifying key foods/food groups that reduce triglycerides. We performed data simulation modelling to estimate the potential reductions in fasting triglycerides that could be achieved by different dietary strategies in reproductive age women. The model was created using data from the 2011–2013 Australian Health Survey and incorporated various factors such as demographics, nutrient intake, and plasma biomarkers. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to estimate triglyceride levels, considering nutrient intake and pre-determined covariates. Dietary scenarios were developed, reducing the consumption of processed/ultra-processed foods, while increasing the intake of minimally processed foods like fruits, vegetables, fish, and nuts. A total of 606 women were included. Reducing processed foods by 50% plus increasing intakes of fruits (75–225 g/day), vegetables (75–225 g/day), or nuts (10–40 g/day) decreased triglycerides by up to 4.3%. Additionally, incorporating 80 g/day of omega 3 fish (>800 mg long-chain omega 3/100 g) decreased triglycerides by 8.2%. The clinical relevance of lowering triglycerides for cardiometabolic disease management should be tested in dietary intervention studies in women.
