Our study offers evidence that the presence of overweight and obesity could impair the microbial diversity maturation associated with age. Furthermore, it provides novel results toward a better understanding of gut microbiota in the pediatric population that will ultimately help to develop therapeutic approaches to improve metabolic status.
