Are C-section babies more likely to develop allergies or asthma later in life?

Caesarean delivery has been associated with increased risks of asthma, allergic rhinitis or conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis or eczema, food allergies, and allergic sensitization in offspring. Caesarean birth influences the risk of asthma partially by gut microbial colonization and perturbed immune responses reflected by dysregulations in bile acid and tryptophan metabolism during early life.
