Young researchers Wang Hexing and Wang Na from the Key Laboratory of Public Health Safety of the Ministry of Education of Fudan University and the School of Public Health of Fudan University collected urine samples from children in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. After more than 3 years of research, they found that childhood antibiotic exposure may be a cause of childhood obesity. One of the dangerous factors, the corresponding results have been published in the latest issue of the international authoritative journal in the environmental field “Environment International” (“Environment International”).
The world scientific community has been paying attention to the population (especially school-age children) antibiotic exposure, and noted that the use of antibiotics in infants and young children is related to the risk of childhood obesity, but no direct evidence has been found for the relationship between them.
