The gut microbiome is widely recognized for its significant contribution to maintaining human health across all life stages, from infancy to adulthood and beyond. This perspective article focuses on the impacts of well-supported microbiome research on global caesarean delivery rates, breastfeeding practices, and antimicrobial use. The article also explores the impact of dietary choices, particularly those involving ultra-processed foods, on the gut microbiota and their potential contribution to conditions like obesity, metabolic syndrome, and inflammatory diseases. This perspective aims to emphasize the need for updated guidelines and policy interventions to address the increasing global trends of caesarean deliveries, reduced breastfeeding, overuse of antibiotics, and consumption of highly processed foods to counter their adverse effects on gut health.
肠道微生物群因其在从婴儿期到成年期及以后的所有生命阶段对维持人类健康的重大贡献而广受认可。这篇观点文章重点关注了有充分证据支持的微生物群研究对全球剖宫产率、母乳喂养实践和抗菌药物使用的影响。文章还探讨了饮食选择，特别是那些涉及超加工食品的选择，对肠道微生物群的影响以及它们对肥胖、代谢综合征和炎症性疾病等病症的潜在影响。这一观点旨在强调需要更新指南和政策干预措施，以应对全球剖宫产率上升、母乳喂养减少、抗生素过度使用以及高加工食品消费增加的趋势，以对抗它们对肠道健康的不利影响。
