- 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.

- 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
