Study how sex and gut bacteria relate to heart risk
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study follows people over time to understand how sex-related factors and gut bacteria may affect heart and blood-vessel risk. It may help researchers identify who could benefit from earlier prevention, based on personal risk patterns.
