Neurodevelopment correlates with gut microbiota in a cross-sectional analysis of children at 3 years of age in rural China
Abstract We investigated cross-sectional associations between children’s neurodevelopment and their gut microbiota composition. Study children (36 months of age) lived in rural China (n = 46). Neurodevelopment was assessed using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 2nd Edition, yielding the Ment...
