About this trial

In recent years, the global rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes has become a major public health issue. In New Caledonia, 38% of the adult population has a body mass index ≥30. At the same time, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to rise steadily. The burden of these diseases does not affect communities uniformly. While known factors such as diet, physical activity, and socioeconomic conditions play a role, studies have demonstrated the involvement of the gut microbiota in the development of metabolic disorders, particularly obesity and insulin resistance. However, this area remains largely unexplored in New Caledonia and the Pacific.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Describe and characterise the faecal microbiota of patients to investigate the relationships between microbiota composition with bioclinical parameters

Microbiota will be analysed through 16S rRNA gene sequencing as well as shotgun metagenomic sequencing of the different samples obtained from the faecal sample

Time frame
6 years
2

Describe and characterise the faecal microbiota and metabolome of patients to investigate the relationships between microbiota composition with bioclinical parameters

microbiome and metabolites from collected human fecal samples will be analyzed using a standardized extraction protocol designed for Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS)-based metabolomics to detect short-chain fatty acids and bile acids,…. which are mainly produced by bacteriasequencing of the different samples obtained from the faecal sample.

Time frame
6 years
