The "living well with lupus" lifestyle intervention: Effects on gut microbiota in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and high cardiovascular risk.

Thus, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of a multidisciplinary lifestyle intervention on gut microbiota diversity and composition in women with SLE and high cardiovascular risk;Materials and methodsThis study analyzed a subsample (n = 31) from the "Living Well with Lupus" (LWWL) study, a 6-month randomized controlled trial. Exploratory taxonomic analyses nevertheless identified distinct relative-abundance patterns across groups and time, including a numerical increase in the Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidota (F/B) ratio in LWWL and different trajectories of several SCFA-associated genera.
