Abstract

Structural alterations in the gut microbiota (GM) are closely linked to aging and age-related diseases. Although exercise may improve health in older adults by modulating gut microecology, its specific effects on GM lack systematic evaluation.

Research summary

Exercise interventions can modulate gut microbiota in older adults. The paper is relevant as it explores how exercise may influence gut health, which is linked to aging and age-related diseases, potentially addressing underlying mechanisms of aging.
