Causality analysis. Overview of how the causality analysis between fungal and bacterial abundances and eczema was performed. Linear regressions were used to estimate if eczema diagnosed at or prior to each timepoint predicted fungal or bacterial abundance at that timepoint. Logistic regressions were used to estimate if fungal or bacterial abundance at each timepoint predicted eczema up to 2 years (6 years for the lowest analysis) among those with no history of eczema by that timepoint. The included participants in this analysis were those who could develop eczema at 0–6 years of age. This number adds up to n = 212, as three participants did not provide the presentation age of eczema in the questionnaires
