Unlocking Healthy Aging Through Gut Microbiome Balance

Research on over 200 octogenarians in Singapore reveals that changes in gut bacteria, such as a decline in Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and an increase in other butyrate-producing species, may influence healthy aging by affecting inflammation, blood sugar, and vitamin levels. These findings suggest gut bacteria as potential markers and targets for promoting healthy aging, with future research focusing on developing probiotic therapies to enhance health in aging populations.
