Clinical Trial Summary

This prospective observational cohort study aims to learn about temporal changes in the gut microbiota before and after migrating to high altitudes in healthy participants. The main questions it aims to answer are: - changes in the gut microbiome before and after migrating to high altitude. - Do the migrants tend to share similar gut microbiota characteristics with the residents? Participants will detect 16S ribosomal RNA profiles from stool samples. Researchers will compare the residents with the migrants to see if gut microbiota characteristics are similar.


Clinical Trial Description

Changes in geographical environment can lead to alterations in the composition of the host's gut microbiota. However, the dynamic process and specific bacterial composition and patterns of change in the microbiota are not yet clear. In this study, the investigators conducted microbial analysis of the gut microbiota based on 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing in five healthy volunteers living in a plain area (Liaocheng City, Shandong Province) before and after their relocation to a high-altitude region (Gangcha County, Qinghai Province). Samples were collected at multiple time points, including 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after relocation, as well as 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months after returning to Liaocheng City from Gangcha County. Additionally, a control group consisting of five local healthy individuals from Gangcha County (matched for age, gender, and ethnicity in a 1:1 ratio) was included. Dietary and lifestyle habits were investigated to determine the impact of environmental changes on the gut microbiota. The study aimed to analyze the diversity and abundance changes of the gut microbiota at different time points and identify specific bacterial compositions through clustering analysis. ;
