Comparison of Gut Microbiota between Sasang Constitutions
Figure 3
Comparison of average bacterial community obtained from different genders and ages at the phylum level. Bacterial communities from So-Eum and Tae-Eum were compared between male and female, due to an insufficient number of males in So-Yang subjects. Samples of So-Yang constitution had relatively various age ranges; thus, comparison of different ages was performed within So-Yang. The range of ages was divided into groups of 20 (range from 20 to 29 years old), 30 (30–39), and 50 (50–59).
