Final answer:

Factors such as diet, birth and feeding methods, and individual genetics and lifestyle choices significantly impact microbiome composition.


Explanation:

Diet: The type of diet, whether high-fiber or high-protein, directly impacts the gut microbiome composition.

Birth and Feeding: Factors like being breastfed versus formula-fed and the mode of birth (vaginal or cesarean) influence the initial colonization of the infant's gut microbiome.

Genetics and Lifestyle: Individual factors such as genetics, age, lifestyle, and host health play a significant role in shaping the composition of the microbiome within the body.
