Gut microbiota composition outperforms chronological age in predicting systemic inflammation and incident disease risk - Nature Communications
Here, characterizing 1,199 adults, the authors find that gut bacteria patterns predict inflammation and future disease risk better than age, with an identified microbiota type showing signs of “inflam...
