Figure 7

Distance-based Redundancy Analysis (db-RDA) plot showing the relationship of age and disease status to the microbial community structure.

The plots represents a dbRDA ordination based upon the Bray-Curtis distance including (A) anorexia nervosa patients (AN) at baseline (T1) and normal-weight participants and with age and disease status as explanatory variables or (B) AN at baseline at T1 and with age and disease status, gastrointestinal symptoms, BMI, total energy intake and fibre, fat and protein intake as explanatory variables. Age and anorexia subtype were the only significant explanatory variables. Binge purging = Binge/Purging AN-type, Restrictive = Restrictive AN-type.
