Individuals who are overweight or obese have a higher chance of developing comorbidities such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease Several studies have shown significant changes in the intestinal flora of obese people both in composition, and that this dysfunction of the intestinal flora is one of the major contributors to the western diet-induced obesity. This review addresses recent progress in the understanding of the association of the Western-style diet with obesity, dysbiosis of intestinal flora plays an important role in obesity.
