Indigenous infants have healthier gut microbiomes
Update: 2025-12-12
Description
A study has found Indigenous babies in remote Australia are born with more diverse gut bacteria.
While this is a key marker of health, it's still unclear why these babies will grow up to have an increased risk of chronic disease.
It highlights how Westernisation could be having a detrimental impact on the health on First Nations people.
