UCLA study links gut bacteria to brain aging speed

Original: Your gut bacteria may reveal how fast your brain is aging A UCLA study links faster brain aging to specific gut bacteria

A UCLA study suggests that the composition of gut bacteria and their chemical byproducts may indicate how quickly a person's brain is aging. Researchers found that participants whose brains appeared biologically older also showed poorer memory, focus, and mood. The findings point to gut health as a possible biological marker for cognitive decline and brain aging.

Why now: New research connecting gut microbiome to brain aging offers potential early warning signs for cognitive decline
