Fecal microbiota composition will be determined using 16S rRNA based methods. Body structural parameters (nutritional status, bone structure, body mass components) will be studied by standard anthropometric methods. The relationship between gut microbiota composition and body structural parameters will be studied by multifactorial statistical analyses.
