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.

More inflammatory diets linked to muscle loss in older adults

In 1,048 older adults, higher dietary inflammation scores were linked to greater odds of age-related muscle loss, with an odds ratio (a comparison of odds) of 1.305.In 1,048 older adults, higher dietary inflammation scores were linked to greater odds of age-related muscle loss, with an odds ratio (a comparison of odds) of 1.305.
