Figure 3. Statistical analysis of the association of different personal, lifestyle, health, hygiene, and environmental factors with the skin microbiome. Each panel displays associations on different levels of the microbiome: (A) associations on the level of beta diversity between the samples, significant associations indicated with *(P-value < 0.05, Adonis test); (B) associations on the level of alpha diversity of the samples; (C) associations on the level of abundances of specific taxa as analyzed by 3 different differential abundance testing methods (Limma, Maaslin2, and a regression on the centered log-ratio transformed abundance data). All taxa are shown to have a significant association for at least one statistical test. Numbers indicate the number of tests that measured significant differential abundance.
