A case-control study to identify microbiome and genetic differences between healthy people and patients with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Two groups of people, one composed of healthy volunteers and the other of patients with incident type 2 diabetes mellitus who never received treatment for their condition, fill in the food frequency questionnaire and the physical activity questionnaire. DNA microarray genotyping is used to process the DNA samples of the participants. The data on the composition of the participants' gut microbiota is obtained through sequencing of their stool samples.

Physical activity questionnaire
Physical Activity Questionnaire. It collects information on physical activity comprising 16 questions grouped in four domains: activity at work (1), travel to and from places (2), recreational activities (3), sedentary behaviour (4).
Time frame: Baseline
Food frequency questionnaire
Food frequency questionnaire assesses usual intake and portion size of more than 130 foods and beverages and more than 25 dietary supplements for the last 12 months. Responses are evaluated and analysed to compile a nutritional picture for each group of subjects.
Time frame: 12 months before baseline
