β-diversity in the 1-year fecal samples associates with later asthma. PCoA plots of weighted UniFrac distances. Microbial compositions are assessed in relation to a child’s asthma status at age 5 years, and stratified by maternal asthma. P-values correspond to Adonis PERMANOVA tests. Ellipses demonstrate the mean ± 1 SD of children, who at age 5 years were asthmatic (orange) (N = 58) or non-asthmatic (green) (N = 531). Subsets include: asthmatic mother, asthmatic (orange) (N = 25), and non-asthmatic (green) (N = 122); non-asthmatic mother, asthmatic (orange) (N = 33), and non-asthmatic (green) (N = 409)
