Microbial diversity is considered important, often declines with age, and is influenced by diet, medication and social interaction.

With age, short-chain-fatty-acid-producing microbes decrease while pro-inflammatory microbes increase; this imbalance may contribute to chronic inflammation.

A 2023 study of 1,575 people found those aged 100 to 117 had more diverse, younger-like microbiomes; researchers suspect a longevity link.

Among 50 nursing-home residents, a daily prebiotic improved frailty measures over 13 weeks compared with a placebo.

"This imbalance is thought to contribute to chronic, low-grade inflammation, a state known as inflammaging, which is associated with higher risk of conditions such as cardiovascular disease, dementia and stroke," says Jessica Schneider, chief scientific officer at Corundum Systems Biology, a company in Tokyo, Japan, that invests in research.— Jessica Schneider, chief scientific officer at Corundum Systems Biology, Tokyo, Japan

The microbiome, a community of microbes in the body, influences health in unexpected ways.

Imbalances in the microbiome can lead to skin issues, weight changes, autoimmune diseases, and allergies.

Research indicates that the microbiome can assist in cancer treatment and interact with the immune system.

Healthy habits, including a fiber-rich diet and probiotics, can positively affect the microbiome.
