The normal group shows the average abundance of gut microbiota in healthy control subjects, n＝30. The constipated group shows the average abundance of gut microbiota in constipated women of reproductive age, n＝29. p values calculated from t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Prefixes p_, c_, o_, f_, and g_ refer to phylum, class, order, family, and genus. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
