Description: Variable importance in projection (VIP) selected during PLS-DA analysis of families in the duodenal microbiome of subjects in Groups 4 compared to Group 1.
Abundance in Group 1: increased abundance in Group 4- oldest age group (66 to 80 years old. elderly people)

Subjects
- Group 1 name Corresponds to the case (exposed) group for case-control studies
- Group 2, 3 and 4 - older age groups (36 to 50 years old; 51 to 65 years old and 66 to 80 years old.)

- These are the remaining 3 groups of subjects grouped according to advancing chronological age (N= 41, 36 to 50 years old; N= 96, 51 to 65 years old and N= 82, 66 to 80 years old).
