We derive the equation of matter density perturbations on sub-horizon scales around a flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker background for the general Lagrangian density f(R, G) that is a function of a Ricci scalar R and a Gauss-Bonnet term G. We find that the effective gravitational constant generically scales as distance squared at small distances. The effect of this diminishing of the gravitational constant might be important in the gravitational dynamics of cosmic objects such as galaxies, which can be in principle tested by observations. We also provide the general expressions for the effective anisotropic stress, which is useful to constrain modified gravity models from observations of large-scale structure and weak lensing. We also find that there is a special class of theories which evade this unusual behaviour arid that the condition to belong to this special class is exactly the same as the one for not having super-luminal modes with propagation speed proportional to their wavenumber.
