LN, low-altitude obese children; LOB, low-altitude obese children; HN, high-altitude normal weight children; HOB, high-altitude obese children. Kruskal-Wallis test was used to test the significance of the OTUs, Shannon index, Simpson index, Chao 1, and abundance-based coverage estimator (ACE) index.
