From: Association between erythrocyte membrane fatty acids and gut bacteria in obesity-related cognitive dysfunction

Variable	MCI (n = 49)	Non_MCI (n = 55)	P
Sobs	209.370 ± 66.985	195.360 ± 71.938	0.309
Shannon	3.291 ± 0.546	3.129 ± 0.654	0.175
Simpson	0.089 ± 0.059	0.110 ± 0.091	0.334
Ace	262.964 ± 74.356	256.443 ± 87.026	0.684
Chao	258.159 ± 81.313	247.977 ± 90.131	0.548
coverage	0.998 ± 0.001	0.998 ± 0.001	0.998

The data is represented by mean and SD. Ace and Chao indices reflect community richness, Shannon and Simpson indices reflect community diversity, Coverage reflects the coverage of the community; MCI: obesity with cognitive impairment group; Non_MCI: obese but cognitively normal group; *P < 0.05
