Food and Microbiome Longitudinal Investigation (FAMiLI)

This is an observational study called the Food and Microbiome Longitudinal Investigation (FAMiLI). It aims to understand how the human microbiome (the collection of tiny organisms living inside us) affects health and diseases like cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Researchers are looking for people aged 40 and older to join. You cannot participate if you are pregnant or use long-term antibiotics. The study's success will be measured by collecting demographic information over 5 years. The current recruitment status is unclear.
