        @sunidhi In general, boys are more likely than girls to have asthma at a young age; however, boys often grow out of it but girls are less likely to. In the WHEALS cohort, a more mature bacterial community at 1 month and a more immature bacterial community at 6 months were associated with allergic asthma in both boys and girls.
