Sorry, cat people and only children: Having a dog as a toddler and growing up in a large family are two things linked to a significantly lower chance of getting Crohn's disease later in life, according to a new study.
genetically sequenced"Our study also shows that just by living with a dog, it impacts your gut microbiome composition, which may have an impact on the immune response later in life."
The researchers also looked at the health of the gut by measuring certain factors in the urine. One factor was higher in people who did not live with a dog at any point.Living with a dog between ages 2 and 4 years and a large family size in the first year were significantly associated with a lower risk of Crohn's disease onset.
It is unknown if the results apply to other populations; the researchers studied first-degree relatives of people with Crohn's disease.Future research could evaluate people who never had a dog and look for changes in their microbiome after they get one."It's a really interesting study from a good group.
