Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Obesity is a major public health concern worldwide, with its prevalence steadily increasing over the past few decades. The gut microbiota has emerged as a key player in the development and progression of obesity. This research project aims to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota composition and obesity in adults. Chapter One provides an introduction to the study, highlighting the background of the research, the problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and the structure of the thesis. Additionally, key terms relevant to the study are defined to provide clarity and understanding. Chapter Two comprises a comprehensive literature review that delves into ten key aspects related to gut microbiota composition, obesity, and their interplay. This section synthesizes existing knowledge to provide a solid foundation for the research study. Chapter Three outlines the research methodology, including the study design, participant recruitment criteria, data collection methods, gut microbiota analysis techniques, and statistical analysis procedures. This chapter also discusses ethical considerations and potential limitations of the research methodology. Chapter Four presents a detailed discussion of the findings obtained from the research study. The analysis includes the correlation between gut microbiota composition and obesity markers, such as body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and metabolic parameters. The implications of these findings on obesity prevention and management are thoroughly explored. Chapter Five concludes the thesis by summarizing the key findings, discussing the significance of the research outcomes, and proposing potential recommendations for future research in this field. The study findings contribute to a better understanding of the complex relationship between gut microbiota composition and obesity in adults. In conclusion, this research project sheds light on the intricate interplay between gut microbiota composition and obesity in adults. By elucidating the mechanisms underlying this relationship, this study provides valuable insights that may inform future strategies for obesity prevention and management.
