“Health inequalities remain one of the biggest challenges facing the UK, and we still do not fully understand how social disadvantage translates into poorer health. Our findings suggest that people who live in more socially deprived areas of the UK may have less diverse gut microbiomes, and that this may be one biological pathway linking deprivation to worse physical and mental health outcomes.”
