Comparative study of type 2 diabetes mellitus-associated gut microbiota between the Dai and Han populations

Figure 1 Analysis of alpha diversity in the gut microbiota. We evaluated and compared six indices of alpha diversity. A: Chao1 index; B: Abundance-based coverage estimator index; C: Good’s coverage index; D: Shannon index; E: Simpson index; F: Pielou index. There were no significant differences observed in the population groups among the six indices (P > 0.05). ACE: Abundance-based coverage estimator; DFChildren: Healthy children from the Dai population; DFControl: Healthy adults from the Dai population; DFDM: Adult type 2 diabetes mellitus patients from the Dai population; HFChildren: Healthy children from the Han population; HFControl: Healthy adults from the Han population; HFDM: Adult type 2 diabetes mellitus patients from the Han population.
