Impact of WaSH and dietary practices on age-driven gut microbiome in stunted young children

Grantina Modern, Aneth David, Kilaza Samson Mwaikono, Beatus Modest Lyimo, Ianina Altshuler, Sylvester Lyantagaye

This study examines the gut microbiome's association with stunting in Tanzanian children, finding that age and environmental factors, rather than distinct microbial profiles, drive growth outcomes.
