Conditions
Brief summary
This study seeks to correlate microbiome sequencing data with information provided by patients and their medical records regarding obesity.
Detailed description
The goal of this Research Study is to better understand how the genetic information in subject's microbiome correlates to the information provided in surveys and in medical records, particularly regarding obesity.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Correlation of Microbiome to Obesity via Relative Abundance Found in Microbiome Sequencing | 1 year | Relative abundance of bacterial classes within taxonomic phyla and, more broadly, within their domain will be analyzed by sequencing the gut microbiome. These data will then be categorized among obesity types |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Validation of Sequencing Methods | 1 year | To validate the methods used to sequence samples |
