LN, low-altitude obese children; LOB, low-altitude obese children; HN, high-altitude normal weight children; HOB, high-altitude obese children.
Values are mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA test was used to test the significance of different microbiota in four groups.
a
Compared with LN group (p < 0.05).
b
Compared with HN group (p < 0.05).
c
Compared with LOB group (p < 0.05).
d
Compared with HOB group (p < 0.05).
