Bile acid dysmetabolism in Bangladeshi infants associated with poor linear growth, enteric inflammation, and small intestine bacterial overgrowth

Figure 4 Compared in the Bangladeshi infants. A: Primary unconjugated bile acid concentrations are plotted against weight-for-age Z scores in the Bangladeshi infants. There is a significant correlation with drop in weight-for-age Z score as primary unconjugated bile acid concentrations increase (β = -0.01, P = 0.01); B: Primary unconjugated bile acid concentrations are plotted against height-for-age Z scores in the Bangladeshi infants. There is a significant correlation with drop in height-for-age Z score as primary unconjugated bile acid concentrations increase (β = -0.01, P = 0.03). HAZ: Height-for-age Z scores; WAZ: Weight-for-height Z scores.
