Summary

We hypothesized that some difference in the composition and distribution of gut microbiota in people with a large number of defecation (two or three times a day or more), people with normal defecation (one time a day or two days), and people with a small number of defecation (two times a week or less). And we investigate the association between gut microbiota and stool frequency.

Detailed description

We divided three groups. (total number = 60 subjects) 1. a large number of defecation group (≥ 2-3 times/day) - 20 subjects 2. normal defecation group (1 time/day or 1 time/2 days) - 20 subjects 3. a small number of defecation group (≤ 2 times/week) - 20 subjects After collection of stools, we will analyze the composition and distribution of gut microbiota, and compared the results of three groups.
