About this trial

In recent years, the global rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes has become a major public health issue. In New Caledonia, 38% of the adult population has a body mass index ≥30. At the same time, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes continues to rise steadily. The burden of these diseases does not affect communities uniformly. While known factors such as diet, physical activity, and socioeconomic conditions play a role, studies have demonstrated the involvement of the gut microbiota in the development of metabolic disorders, particularly obesity and insulin resistance. However, this area remains largely unexplored in New Caledonia and the Pacific.
