There are few reports showing the causal relationship between gut microbiota (GM) and DL. In the present study, we used a linear non-Gaussian acyclic model (LiNGAM) to evaluate the causal relationship between GM and DL. A total of 79 men and 82 women aged 40 years or older living in Shika-machi, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan were included in the analysis, and their clinical information was investigated. DNA extracted from the GM was processed to sequence the 16S rRNA gene using next-generation sequencing. Participants were divided into four groups based on sex and lipid profile information. The results of one-way analysis of covariance, linear discriminant analysis effect size, and least absolute value reduction and selection operator logistic regression model indicated that several bacteria between men and women may be associated with DL. The LiNGAM showed a presumed causal relationship between different bacteria and lipid profiles in men and women. In men,\n                    <jats:italic>Prevotella 9<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Bacteroides<\/jats:italic>\n                    were shown to be potentially associated with changes in low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. In women, the LiNGAM results showed two bacteria,\n                    <jats:italic>Akkermansia<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Escherichia\/Shigella<\/jats:italic>\n                    , had a presumptive causal relationship with lipid profiles. These results may provide a new sex-based strategy to reduce the risk of developing DL and to treat DL through the regulation of the intestinal environment using specific GM.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcimb.2022.908997","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,2]],"date-time":"2022-09-02T06:24:08Z","timestamp":1662099848000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Impact of gut microbiome on dyslipidemia in japanese adults: Assessment of the Shika-machi super preventive health examination results for causal inference"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yuna","family":"Miyajima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shigehiro","family":"Karashima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kazuhiro","family":"Ogai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kouki","family":"Taniguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kohei","family":"Ogura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masaki","family":"Kawakami","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hidetaka","family":"Nambo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mitsuhiro","family":"Kometani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daisuke","family":"Aono","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Masashi","family":"Demura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takashi","family":"Yoneda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiromasa","family":"Tsujiguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Akinori","family":"Hara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Nakamura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shigefumi","family":"Okamoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"979","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.0605374104","article-title":"Mechanisms underlying the resistance to diet-induced obesity in germ-free mice","volume":"104","author":"B\u00e4ckhed","year":"2007","journal-title":"Proc.
