The secret to aging more slowly may be hiding in your gut. Scientists discovered that certain gut bacteria are strongly linked to how quickly the body ages, with microbial differences accounting for about 15% of the variation in biological aging rates. Some bacterial species were associated with slower aging, while others were linked to accelerated aging.
Gut Bacteria Linked to Aging Rates: Implications for Health
Scientists have identified a link between gut bacteria and the rate of biological aging, revealing that microbial differences can account for 15% of aging variation. This research highlights the potential for gut health to influence aging processes. Understanding these factors may have implications for health policies in Iran.
