Abstract During the first 2 years of life, infant gut microbiome is rapidly developing, and bacteria may impact host health through production metabolites that can have systemic effects. Thus, fecal metabolome represents a functional readout bacteria. Despite important role play in health, development has not yet been thoroughly characterized using frequent, repeated sampling during life. Here, we described cohort 101 Latino infants with data collected at 1-, 6-, 12-, 18-, 24-months age. We...

Abstract Infant fecal metabolomics can provide valuable insights into the associations of nutrition, dietary patterns, and health outcomes in early life. Breastmilk is typically classified as best source nutrition for nearly all infants. However, exclusive breastfeeding may not always be possible This study aimed to characterize between levels mixed formula feeding, along with solid food consumption infant metabolome at 1- 6-months age. As a secondary aim, we examined how feeding-associated...

Context Depression is prevalent among Asian Americans (AsA) during the COVID-19 pandemic, and depression often leads to sleep disturbance in this population. The gut microbiota (GM) plays a critical role mental health quality, composition of GM largely unknown AsA. Objectives Examine associations with depressive symptoms Chinese Korean American immigrants. Methods Depressive (PROMIS Short Form-Depression) quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI]) were collected via surveys. PROMIS...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Exposure to ambient air pollution (AAP) is associated with childhood obesity risk, independent of diet or inactivity. The biological mechanisms driving this relationship are not well-understood, but AAP exposure has been linked the gut microbiome. fecal metabolome may represent a functional readout bacteria, potential systemic metabolic effects. This study sought assess longitudinal between prior month and during first 2 years life. METHOD: Participants included 127...
