Cardio Risk Check | Herz-Kreislauf Risiko-Test: can a microbiome test help?

A microbiome test can provide insights into gut health, but its ability to directly predict cardiovascular risk is not well supported by current evidence for consumer tests. Research links certain gut bacteria to inflammation and metabolic markers, but there are no validated, standardized microbiome-based risk scores for heart disease. MyBody-X tests are screening tools, not diagnostic devices. For a reliable cardio risk check, focus on established factors: blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and physical activity. A microbiome test may offer complementary information, but it should not replace conventional risk assessment. The evidence is currently insufficient for clinical recommendations.
