Study examines connection between human gut microbiota, health and mortality ANI | Updated: May 15, 2021 16:51 IST
Turku [Finland], May 15 (ANI): The largest population-level study in the world that examined the connection between human gutmicrobiota and health and mortality in the following decades was recently conducted by the University of Turku and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare together with an international research team.
The composition of the research subjects gut microbiota was analysed from stool samples collected in 2002. The researchers had access to follow-up data on the subjects mortality until 2017, i.e., close to the present day. Many bacterial strains that are known to be harmful were among the enterobacteria predicting mortality, and our lifestyle choices can have an impact on their amount in the gut. By studying the composition of the gut microbiota, we could improve mortality prediction, even while taking
A study by researchers at the University of Turku in Finland has demonstrated a strong association between Enterobacteriaceae and deaths from respiratory and liver disease, among other illnesses.
The research represents the largest long-term population study in the world to examine the potential link between human gut microbiota and future health and mortality, says the authors.
Associate Professor Leo Lahti explained, “
Finnish population studies are unique in their extent and scope even on a global scale. With new data science methods, we are now able to study more closely the specific connections between microbiota and, for example, ageing and incidence of common diseases.”
