Type 2 diabetes-associated gut microbial composition and short chain fatty acids differ across the epidemiologic transition in African origin populations [PDF]

Gut Microbes Reports
The gut microbiota and microbially produced short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are increasingly linked to type 2 diabetes (T2D), particularly in the context of dietary transitions from fiber-rich to more ultra-processed foods.

The human microbiota is associated with cardiometabolic risk across the epidemiologic transition. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Oral and fecal microbial biomarkers have previously been associated with cardiometabolic (CM) risk, however, no comprehensive attempt has been made to explore this association in minority populations or across different geographic regions.

The Epidemiologic Transition: A Theory of the Epidemiology of Population Change [PDF]

The Milbank Memorial Fund Quarterly, 1971
Although demography continues to be the most prominent discipline concerned with population dynamics, involvement of other disciplines is highly desirable. The case for a multidisciplinary approach to population theory has been aptly stated by Kurt Mayer: “Any meaningful interpretation of the cause and effects of population changes must … extend beyond

The epidemiological transition

Eastern Mediterranean Health Journal, 2021
The epidemiological transition was thought to be a unidirectional process, beginning when infectious diseases were predominant and ending when noncommunicable diseases dominated the causes of death. It is now evident that this transition is more complex and dynamic where health and disease evolve in diverse ways.
