Stunting is a major disease that has an impact on numerous kids all over the world. It can cause health issues, developmental delays, and even death.
Recent studies have demonstrated that the bacteria in an infant’s stomach can influence their growth and development through several immunological, metabolic, and hormonal pathways.
Researchers examined the intestinal bacteria of 335 children in rural Zimbabwe and discovered that, as opposed to the precise types of bacteria present, the way the bacteria functions is what can predict growth.
Also, they discovered that infants born to moms who were HIV-positive had a unique strain of gut bacteria that may have hampered their development. In order to tackle child undernutrition, researchers are working to understand how the gut microbiome affects growth. Possible strategies include focusing on certain bacteria or nutrient manufacturing pathways.
