Deciphering the tripartite interaction of urbanized environment, gut microbiome and cardio-metabolic disease.

The world is experiencing a sudden surge in urban population, especially in developing Asian and African countries. Consequently, the global burden of cardio-metabolic disease (CMD) is also rising owing to gut microbiome dysbiosis due to urbanization factors such as mode of birth, breastfeeding, diet, environmental pollutants, and soil exposure. Dysbiotic gut microbiome indicated by altered Firmicutes to Bacteroides ratio and loss of beneficial short-chain fatty acids-producing bacteria such as Prevotella, and Ruminococcus may disrupt host-intestinal homeostasis by altering host immune response, gut barrier integrity, and microbial metabolism through altered T-regulatory cells/T-helper cells balance, activation of pattern recognition receptors and toll-like receptors, decreased mucus production, elevated level of trimethylamine-oxide and primary bile acids.
