Diagnosis / Prognosis
Comparator / control treatment
Participants aged 19-65 years of age (Adults):
This group will be divided into two subgroups, young adults (aged 19-44) and adults (aged 45-65). For assumed-optimal healthy and active adult subgroups, we perceive that there are a great number of eligible and suitable participants who will be interested in participating and may be recruited from sporting clubs, community groups, gyms or fitness centres. For adult control subgroups, we intend to recruit these participants with support from local clinicians who treat patients who are overweight and obese.
Participants aged 19-45 of age, athletes.
This group athletes will consist of participants who regularly take part in sport at a competitive or professional level, and/ or are highly active as part of their work. These groups will be recruited through professional sporting organisations and highly active professions.
Participants aged 65-94 years of age (Senior Adults), and participants aged 95 years and older (Very senior adults):
Participants within these groups will not be divided into active/healthy and control groups like the other age cohorts; following enrolment and sample analysis, these participants will be categorised based on cognitive scores and these data will be matched with accompanying clinical information.
Senior and very senior adults will be recruited from the community and local public & private geriatric clinical streams, as well as from large, longitudinal studies of ageing.

Participants aged 65-94 years of age (Senior Adults), and participants aged 95 years and older (Very senior adults) who have a diagnosis of dementia
Participants in this group will be recruited from community and also from clinical streams where participants in each age range have a diagnosis of dementia


Participants aged 13-18 years of age (Adolescents)
Participants in this group will be recruited from community and clinical streams. Participants, following recruitment, will be grouped into active and inactive based following an activity survey.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 322135 0
The primary outcome measure of this study is to determine the microbial signature of participants belonging to the cross-sectional cohorts in the study design. The microbial signature of participants will be determined using a composite of multi-omics microbiome analysis methods performed on stool, oral and blood samples. Primary analysis techniques to be performed on these biological samples include:
- shotgun metagenomics
- transcriptomics
- metabolomics
- lipidomics

*OPTIONAL* Cognitive status will be assessed using a Cognitive Battery Test.
Only applied to our adult participants in the age range of 19-65 years as an opt-in assessment, this battery of nine cognitive tasks and assessments seeks to assess nine distinct dimensions of cognition. The battery is comprised of the following tests/assessment tools:
- Emotion Decision Gender Task
- Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices
- N-Back
- Wisconsin Card Sorting Test
- Ellsberg Urn Task
- Iowa Gambling Task
- Reading the Mind in the Eyes
- Vividness of Visual Imagery Questionnaire
- Object-Spatial Imagery Questionnaire
- Rational-Experiential Inventory

The tasks and assessments all involve reacting to words, letters, shapes, colours or patterns on a screen. None of these tasks and assessments are upsetting, anxiety-provoking or dangerous to participants in any known way. Additionally, none of these tasks and assessments involve deception. All tasks will be performed voluntarily via a computer-based test which must be undertaken onsite at the MRC. This element of the schedule of assessments is strictly only to be offered to adults aged 19-65 and has been designed by co-investigators on this research study.
Undertaking this assessment is optional because of the time commitment attached to it, and any participants who agree to undertake and complete this assessment will receive compensation in the form of a shopping voucher for a small value.

Statistical methods / analysis
As the aim of this study is to identify healthy optimal microbial signatures, the age-matched control diseases groups are used to demonstrate the benchmark effect of healthy gut microbiome signatures. The statistical analysis includes comparing microbial a diversity, ß diversity and identifying signatures between healthy and disease groups.
Power calculations for this study were based on published literature. P < 0.05 will be used as a significant finding and unadjusted for the diversity analysis.
