Abstract

Dysfunctional eating behaviors, and their modulators, are an important component in the prevalence of malnutrition. The gut microbiome, acting through the microbiota‐gut‐brain axis, is implicated as a modifiable factor in eating behavior. ObjectivesThis systematic review investigated the influence of the gut microbiome on human eating behavior and their modulators (appetite, satiety, energy/food intake, weight loss/gain).

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a systematic review. Its evidence level is 1 of 5 (Highest · pooled evidence). Pooled evidence from several studies sits at the top of the evidence pyramid.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
