The most abundant BAs were glycine-conjugated forms, while primary unconjugated BAs exhibited the largest concentration ranges, differing by over 1,000-fold between individuals. Sex-specific patterns emerged, with men showing significantly higher levels of unconjugated BAs. Age and BMI were negatively associated with taurine-conjugated BAs, and weak time-of-day variations were observed for several conjugated BAs. Lifestyle factors such as smoking, assessed through self-report and serum cotinine, showed stronger associations with BA levels than alcohol or ancestry, notably with increased murideoxycholic acid (MDCA) and reduced conjugated BA levels among nicotine\u00a0users.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"j_cclm-2026-0809_abs_004\">\n
