[Background of the Data Used]
The data for this study were obtained from a commercial database provided by a gut flora testing service company in Japan.
This database includes gut microbiota data from participants, along with basic attributes (gender, age group, BMI category) and lifestyle information collected via a questionnaire.

[Participant Criteria]
The study included 100 individuals who habitually use glucosamine products.
Participants were aged 50-59 years.

[Data Collection]
A "habitual glucosamine product user" (glucosamine user) was defined as someone who answered "yes" to the question, "Have you regularly used supplements at least 4 days a week for the past month or more?" and wrote "glucosamine" in the free-response field for supplements.

An employee of the gut flora company extracted data for individuals meeting the study criteria from the database.
A total of 100 glucosamine users (50 males, 50 females, aged 50-59 years) were identified. Non-users (controls) were also extracted, matched to users by gender and age group.
Thus, 200 individuals (100 glucosamine users, 100 non-users) were included.

Data extraction and participant selection were conducted independently by a company employee, blinded to the researchers.
The researchers received anonymized data, including gut microbiota data, basic attributes (gender, age group, BMI category), and lifestyle data (glucosamine usage).

[Data Analysis]
Gut microbiota analysis pipelines, statistical software, and programming languages were used to examine the relationship between glucosamine intake, BMI, and gut microbiota characteristics.

[Data Availability]
The 16S rRNA sequencing data, basic attributes (gender, age group, BMI category), and lifestyle data (glucosamine usage)(Anonymously processed information, respectively) will be registered in the DNA Data Bank of Japan (DDBJ).
