Persistent gut microbiota immaturity in malnourished Bangladeshi children
Open accessAbstract
Therapeutic food interventions have reduced mortality in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM), but incomplete restoration of healthy growth remains a major problem. The relationships between the type of nutritional intervention, the gut microbiota, and therapeutic responses are unclear. In the current study, bacterial species whose proportional representation define a healthy gut microbiota as it assembles during the first two postnatal years were identified by applying a machine-learning-based approach to 16S ribosomal RNA data sets generated from monthly faecal samples obtained from birth onwards in a cohort of children living in an urban slum of Dhaka, Bangladesh, who exhibited consistently healthy growth. These age-discriminatory bacterial species were incorporated into a model that computes a ‘relative microbiota maturity index’ and ‘microbiota-for-age Z-score’ that compare postnatal assembly (defined here as maturation) of a child’s faecal microbiota relative to healthy children of similar chronologic age. The model was applied to twins and triplets (to test for associations of these indices with genetic and environmental factors, including diarrhoea), children with SAM enrolled in a randomized trial of two food interventions, and children with moderate acute malnutrition. Our results indicate that SAM is associated with significant relative microbiota immaturity that is only partially ameliorated following two widely used nutritional interventions. Immaturity is also evident in less severe forms of malnutrition and correlates with anthropometric measurements. Microbiota maturity indices provide a microbial measure of human postnatal development, a way of classifying malnourished states, and a parameter for judging therapeutic efficacy. More prolonged interventions with existing or new therapeutic foods and/or addition of gut microbes may be needed to achieve enduring repair of gut microbiota immaturity in childhood malnutrition and improve clinical outcomes.

TL;DR
A machine-learning model based on age-discriminatory fecal bacterial taxa defines gut microbiota maturation in healthy Bangladeshi children and shows that severe acute malnutrition (SAM) is associated with marked microbiota immaturity that is only partially and transiently improved by two food interventions. The same immaturity is seen in moderate acute malnutrition and correlates with anthropometric status.
Key findings
- A Random Forests model using the top 24 age-discriminatory 97% ID OTUs explained 73% of variance in chronologic age in healthy Bangladeshi children and generalized to independent healthy singleton and twin/triplet validation sets (r² = 0.71 and 0.68, respectively).
- In 64 children with SAM (mean enrollment WHZ −4.2 ± 0.7), relative microbiota maturity and microbiota-for-age Z-scores were significantly lower than in healthy children at enrollment and end of nutritional rehabilitation (Dunnett’s p < 0.0001 for both treatment groups); improvements after RUTF or Khichuri-Halwa were not durable, with regression to significant immaturity beyond 4 months after treatment stopped.
- RUTF and Khichuri-Halwa did not differ significantly in weight gain (10.9 ± 4.6 vs 10.4 ± 5.4 g/kg/day; p = 0.7), and WHZ remained lower than healthy children during follow-up (−2.1 ± 1.2 Khichuri-Halwa; −2.4 ± 0.8 RUTF vs −0.5 ± 1.1 healthy; p < 0.0001).
- In a cross-sectional analysis at 18 months, children with MAM had significantly lower relative microbiota maturity and MAZ scores than healthy children, and these metrics correlated with WHZ (Spearman rho = 0.62 and 0.63; p < 0.001); 220 bacterial taxa differed in SAM vs healthy, with 165 significantly diminished during longer-term follow-up in both treatment groups.
Methods
- Healthy Bangladeshi birth cohorts in Mirpur, Dhaka: 50 children followed monthly for up to ~24 months (25 singletons, 11 twin pairs, 1 triplet set; 996 fecal samples), plus twins/triplets for validation; SAM trial enrolled 64 children aged 6–20 months randomized to imported RUTF (Plumpy’Nut) or locally produced Khichuri-Halwa; MAM analysis used 33 children at 18 months.
- Fecal bacterial communities were profiled by V4-16S rRNA sequencing (1,897 fecal DNA samples total; 1,222 97% ID OTUs passing detection filters), with Random Forests regression against chronologic age to identify age-discriminatory taxa and a sparse 24-taxon model to compute relative microbiota maturity and microbiota-for-age Z-score.
- Associations with clinical/dietary factors used linear mixed models, Dunnett’s post-hoc comparisons, Spearman correlations, and Mann-Whitney/Wilcoxon tests; antibiotic effects were assessed in a subset of nine children with pre-antibiotic samples.
Limitations
- The paper states that most children with SAM could not provide fecal samples before antibiotics, so effects of other antibiotics consumed singly or in combinations could not be measured; it also notes that functional roles of age-discriminatory taxa need clarification and that more clinical studies are needed to test whether microbiota immaturity persists beyond childhood.
- The paper notes that systematic analyses across different populations may show a need for geographic specificity when constructing microbiota-based models or diagnostics.
- Evident from the text: the main findings are associational, sample sizes for some subgroups are small (e.g., nine children with pre-antibiotic samples; 10 children with MAM), and treatment effects on microbiota maturity were not durable, limiting conclusions about causality or long-term therapeutic repair.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
In the citing paper
“a sample of children living in an urban slum in Bangladesh with either moderate acute malnutrition or severe acute malnutrition had a gut microbiota that was ‘immature’; meaning discriminatory taxa in their gut communities were more similar to younger rather than age-matched healthy individuals from the same location [165].”
From The athletic gut microbiota (2020) · cites this paper as [165]
In the citing paper
“This ‘immaturity’ was greater in those more severely malnourished with probable physiologic, metabolic, and immunologic consequences [165].”

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.
Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Rated major: it would touch a result — a value a result rests on, reported and recomputed p-values on opposite sides of the significance level, two passages that conflict with no sign which is right, or a cited work retracted before this paper was published.
In the paper

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-08, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-08 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
