Gut microbiome dysbiosis in at-risk versus low-risk stroke adults
Abstract
"Healthy brain aging has been a significant focus in older adults. Lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise have been implemented by adults to avoid brain related disease processes such stroke and Alzheimer’s disease. Stroke risk factors such as high BMI, hypertension, diabetes, and the presence of ApoE4 gene have been explored in hopes to find interventions targeted to promote more healthy brain aging. Currently there is a knowledge gap on how interventions can promote healthy brain aging. Targeting the bidirectional gut-brain axis by manipulating the gut microbiome can be a possible intervention to promote brain health."--Introduction.
