Correlation plots showing (A) the correlations adjusted for multiple testing, and (B) the correlations adjusted for age, sex, and BMI between handgrip strength (HGS), sports activity, strength fitness groups, inflammatory and lifestyle parameters, and relative microbial abundance. Blue and red indicate positive and negative correlations, respectively. The color density and square size reflect the scale of the correlation significance cut-off points by *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001, and ****p ≤ 0.0001. CRP, C-reactive protein; IL-6, Interleukin 6; HLS, healthy lifestyle score; ADII, adapted dietary inflammatory index.
