Microbiota-Driven Longevity

Meaning

Microbiota-Driven Longevity is the scientific principle asserting that the overall composition, functional diversity, and specific metabolic output of the gut microbiota are significant, and crucially, modifiable determinants of both healthspan and overall lifespan. This concept posits that a resilient, highly diverse, and metabolically favorable microbial ecosystem contributes substantially to longevity by actively mitigating chronic systemic inflammation, enhancing metabolic efficiency, and protecting against age-related decline in critical organ function. It fundamentally places the gut ecosystem at the center of the biological aging process and its therapeutic modulation.
