EGAD00001007035	The dataset contains data for n=7211 FINRISK 2002 participants who underwent fecal sampling. Demultiplexed shallow shotgun metagenomic sequences were quality filtered and adapter trimmed using Atropos (Didion et al., 2017), and human filtered using Bowtie2 (Langmead and Salzberg, 2012). The files are in FASTQ format.	Illumina HiSeq 4000	7231
EGAD50000000287	Gut microbiome 16S rRNA raw data for N=7174 FINRISK 2002 participants. FINRISK fecal samples were mailed to the Knight laboratory at the University of California (San Diego, CA), for microbiota sequencing using the standard Earth Microbiome Project protocols (https://earthmicrobiome.org/protocols-and-standards/). DNA was extracted using a magnetic bead-based DNA extraction protocol. Amplicon sequence data for the V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene was generated using 515F (Parada) and 806R (Apprill) primers. For a total of 25μl reaction volume, 13 µl PCR-grade water was combined with 10 µl PCR master mix (Platinum Hot Start PCR Master Mix, 2x, ThermoFisher), 0.5 µl forward primer (10 µM), 0.5 µl reverse primer (10 µM), and 1 µl template DNA. Amplification was performed in triplicate reactions, and triplicate PCR reactions were pooled afterwards. Expected products were visualized on agarose gels (300–350 bp) and quantified with Quant-iT PicoGreen dsDNA kit (Invitrogen). Equal amounts (240 ng) of amplicon were combined for each sample and cleaned (MoBio UltraClean PCR Clean-Up Kit). Cleaned amplicon pools were sequenced with 515F and 806R primers.	Illumina MiSeq	7174
