Gut microbes predict inflammation better than age in adults

In 1,199 adults, gut microbiota composition explained more variance than age for 97% of inflammatory cytokines and 84% of tested physiological measures.In 1,199 adults, gut microbiota composition explained more variance than age for 97% of inflammatory cytokines and 84% of tested physiological measures.
