  1. aRelative abundance values were transformed using the centered log-ratio transformation prior to conducting logistic regression to facilitate interpretation
  2. bCovariates for logistic regression models included: age (continuous), race (black vs. white), and BMI (continuous)
  3. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio
