Brief 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.
