PCoA of unweighted and weighted UniFrac distances.(a) PCoA results – calculated with unweighted UniFrac distances – depicting the diversity of gut microbiota among four age groups. (b) Comparisons of unweighted UniFrac distances within each age stratum. (c) PCoA findings – calculated with weighted UniFrac distances – showing the diversity of gut microbiota among 4 age strata. (d) Comparisons of weighted UniFrac distances within each age stratum (*p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, Kruskal-Wallis pairwise comparisons).
