Study examines the connection between human gut microbiota and health, mortality
The study conducted by the University of Turku and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare together with an international research team is so far the largest population-level study in the world examining the connection between human gut microbiota and health and mortality in the following decades.
The composition of the research subjects gut microbiota was analyzed 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 into account other relevant risk factors, such as smoking and obesity.

Finland s largest circulation daily, Helsingin Sanomat, points to statistics showing that a university-educated male engineer living in Espoo is likely to live 12 years longer than a low-income man living in Kajaani in the northeastern Kainuu region.
Overall, that gap is nine years. Nationally, higher-income men have a life expectancy of 82 years. Low-income men are likely to die nearly a decade earlier, at about age 73.
