Gut Microbiome Implicated in Healthy Aging and Longevity

Posted on February 18, 2021

The gut microbiome is an integral component of the body, but its importance in the human aging process is unclear. ISB researchers and their collaborators have identified distinct signatures in the gut microbiome that are associated with either healthy or unhealthy aging trajectories, which in turn predict survival in a population of older individuals.

Bacterial tug of war between prevotella and bacteroides -- gut microbiome
