From: Child Weight Gain Trajectories Linked To Oral Microbiota Composition

Figure 3

Oral and Gut microbiota’s relationships with conditional weight gain. Notched box-plots contrasting α-diversity and Firmicutes-to-Bacteroidetes (F:B) ratio in two-year-old children with rapid (CWG ≥ 0) vs. non-rapid (CWG < 0) weight gain, and in their mothers. (a,d) for the gut microbiota in children with rapid (N = 90) vs. non-rapid (N = 99) weight gain; (b,e) for the oral microbiota in children with rapid (N = 97) vs. non-rapid infant weight gain (N = 117); (c,f) for the oral microbiota in mothers of children with rapid infant weight gain (N = 102) vs. mothers of children without rapid infant weight gain (N = 113). All p-values were obtained using one-tailed Mann-Whitney U tests, significant p-values are shown in bold. Outliers were not plotted but were included in the statistical tests.
