Prebiotic supplementation may Improve Cognition in Older Adults, Study Finds
Studies have suggested a potential link between gut microbiota changes and alterations in both muscle physiology and cognitive behavior. However, the role of gut microbiota in the aging process and its impact on physical function and cognition remain areas of active research. In a recent placebo-controlled double-blinded randomized controlled trial, researchers aimed to investigate the effects of a prebiotic supplement on physical function and cognition in older adults.
This study published in journal Nature Communications by Mary Ni and colleagues has revealed that prebiotic supplementation, may have potential benefits for improving cognition in the aging population. As individuals age, maintaining both physical function and cognitive abilities becomes increasingly important for overall well-being. However, age-related changes in the gut microbiome and the potential impact on muscle physiology and cognition have garnered attention in recent years.
