An exploratory study of 25 elderly patients with moderate periodontitis aged 50-73 years. Ya-Qiong Zhao collected subgingival plaque samples and analyzed microbial composition via 16S rRNA sequencing. The dataset likely contains results from Chao1 diversity, beta diversity, Wilcoxon rank-sum, LEfSe, and KEGG functional pathway analyses.
Use Cases
- Analyze sex-specific variations in oral microbiome diversity based on Chao1 and beta diversity results.
- Identify taxa enriched in female patients based on Wilcoxon rank-sum and LEfSe analysis results.
- Predict functional pathway differences between sexes based on KEGG analysis results.
- Explore potential links between Lactobacillus enrichment and immune/metabolic pathways.
Strengths
- Dataset is derived from a controlled study of 25 patients (8 males, 17 females).
- Analysis includes multiple methods: 16S rRNA sequencing, Chao1 diversity, beta diversity, Wilcoxon rank-sum, LEfSe, and KEGG functional prediction.
- Data is openly available under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Limitations
- Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
- The dataset is small (11.0 KB), indicating a limited scope.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
