Modulating the ageing gut microbiota: The potential for healthy ageing?

Probiotics Summit

The gut microbiota has been observed to impact on health status. Changes to the microbiota, including a reduction in bifidobacteria numbers has been associated with the ageing process; such changes coincide with altered immune profile and increased inflammatory status. In vitro and in vivo studies will be presented exploring the impact of prebiotic and probiotic supplementation on the gut microbiota and inflammatory status.
