Abstract:

With the changes in modern lifestyles and the diversification of dietary habits, the imbalance of gut microbiota in infants and young children is becoming increasingly prominent. This imbalance damages the intestinal barrier, disrupts the metabolism of proteins and fats, hampers the development of the immune system, causes hormonal imbalances, and even affects brain development and function. The levels of short?chain fatty acids in feces and the changes in the gut microbiota structure have significant impacts on the early development of infants and young children. This paper provides a comprehensive discussion on the effects of short?chain fatty acid levels and changes in gut microbiota structure on the growth and development of infants and young children.

Key words: Intestinal flora, Short?chain fatty acids, Infants and young children
