Overview of the study and analysis workflow. This study profiled the gut microbiome of 3096 participants from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS) via 16S rRNA sequencing. The CHNS has repeatedly collected dietary information using 24-h dietary recalls for three consecutive days and validated food frequency questionnaires (FFQs) in 2011 and 2015. We associated gut microbial diversity, taxonomies, and pathways with long-term plant-based dietary pattern and short-term plant-based dietary pattern, respectively. We further investigated the prospective associations between the identified gut microbiome signatures and cardiometabolic biomarkers assessed in 2018. We compared the results obtained from long-term plant-based dietary pattern and short-term plant-based dietary pattern
