A research project funded by the National Institute on Aging to study the gut microbiome's impact on aging outcomes including cognitive decline and frailty, using data from large aging studies over a five-year period.
Description
This project aims to examine the association of the gut microbiome with aging-related outcomes such as cognitive decline, frailty, and healthspan in a large, well-phenotyped older population. It leverages data from the ASPREE and ASPREE-XT studies, collecting stool specimens and assessing microbiome characteristics in relation to aging outcomes over five years.
