Gut Microbiota and Aging

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biomarkers of Human Aging

Abstract

Gut microbiota is an up-to date theme that is widely studied. Now it is obvious that microbiota could be considered as one of the factors affecting aging process. Some reports suggested the potential mechanisms by which gut microbes may influence human health span. Aging-related conditions are accompanied by decline in immune system functioning and low-grade inflammation, and our microbes play a certain role in these processes. Gut microbiota composition changes during the aging process may indicate a more pronounced aging-related health loss.
