The present invention relates to: a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of brain disease caused by microplastic exposure; and a use thereof. More particularly, it was confirmed that polyethylene microspheres (PS) in a mouse animal model orally administered with the PS penetrate brain tissue to change the level of metabolites inside the brain tissue and the diversity of intestinal microorganisms, thereby causing brain disease, and thus the present invention is intended to provide a biomarker composition for predicting the prognosis of brain disease caused by microplastic exposure, and a method for predicting the prognosis of brain disease using same.
