London, Sep 11 (Ians) Babies and young children with a diverse and more mature community of bacteria present in their gut are less likely to develop wheezing or asthma related to allergies, finds study.
Bacteria known as microbiota develop in the human body during early years of life were associated with a lower chance of developing food allergies and asthma in childhood.
Microbiota, which babies already have in their guts from their mothers when they are born, helps the body in synthesising vitamins and boosting the immune system.
“Our studies showed that a more mature infant gut microbiota at one year of age was associated with a lower chance of developing food allergies and asthma in childhood. This appeared to be driven by the overall composition of the gut microbiota rather than specific bacteria. We then hypothesised that advanced maturation of the infant gut microbiota in early life is associated with...
