Recent Review Explores Relationship Between Gut Microbiome Integrity and Healthy Aging

Designs for Health

Recent research has explored the changes to the gut microbiome that occur during the aging process and their potential significance. The integrity of the gut microbiome has been shown in clinical studies to differ between young adults and older individuals.

The Probiotic Connection Between Aging, Muscle Mass, and the Gut Microbiome

Designs for Health

Sarcopenia refers to the progressive age-related loss of skeletal muscle mass and can lead to an increased risk of falls, fractures, and mortality. Some recent studies have investigated a potential link between age-related muscle loss and the relative abundance of biota in the gut microbiome.

Gut Microbiome and Cardiovascular Health: What We Know About the Gut-Heart Axis

Designs for Health

The relationship between the gut microbiome and the heart is referred to as the ‘gut-heart axis.’ Emerging evidence suggests that the gut microbiome–its composition and its metabolites–may influence cardiovascular (CV) health. Dysbiosis may also influence parameters related to hypertension.

Recent Review Explores Potential Role of Micronutrients to Support Immunosenescence and the Gut Microbiome

Designs for Health

Immunosenescence is a term describing the changes that occur to the immune system during the aging process. Certain age-related chronic illnesses have been linked to decreases in immune function and increases in circulating reactive oxygen species (ROS). . The gut microbiome helps support many aspects of immune function.
