Baby's gut bugs linked to brain growth in preterm study
NCT ID NCT04432636
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study followed about 94 moderately premature babies (born at 30-32 weeks) from birth to age 2. Researchers tracked the types of bacteria in their guts and compared that to their thinking, movement, and social skills at age 2. The goal was to see if early gut bacteria patterns are linked to later development, but this was an observational study, not a treatment.
