Overview

Analysis shows decreased gut microbiota diversity in infants over decades, indicating rising non-communicable disease risks.

Key Points

  • The gut microbiota richness and diversity have decreased significantly over three decades.
  • Infants born from 2015-2022 showed notably reduced levels of Bifidobacterium compared to earlier cohorts.
  • Perinatal factors like antibiotic exposure and mode of birth were major influences on gut microbiota composition.
  • The decrease in Bifidobacterium abundance correlates with rising prevalence of non-communicable diseases.
