Intra-individual Jensen-Shannon distance (JSD) in subjects consuming fermented milk products containing Lacticaseibacillus paracasei strain Shirota (LcS) < 3 or ≥ 3 days/week during the past 1-month, 5-year and 10-year periods. Independent differences in the JSD between groups were assessed by analyses of covariance, after adjusting data for age, sex, body mass index, smoking status, and alcohol intake.
