Cognitive decline tied to gut microbes and nutritional access
A new study led in part by Mount Sinai researchers has found a compelling link between the composition of the gut microbiome and the risk of cognitive impairment (RCI) in adults, underscoring the complex role that both biology and social determinants-such as food insecurity-play in brain health.
Gut microbiome composition and food insecurity linked to risk of cognitive impairment in adults
A study led in part by Mount Sinai researchers has found a compelling link between the composition of the gut microbiome and the risk of cognitive impairment (RCI) in adults, underscoring the complex role that both biology and social determinants—such as food insecurity—play in brain health.
Gut Bacteria, Food Insecurity, and Cognitive Risk Intertwined
A new study highlights how food insecurity may intensify the relationship between gut microbiome imbalances and cognitive impairment in adults. Analyzing data from 360 participants, researchers found specific bacterial “cliques” linked to poor cognitive outcomes, especially among those with limited access to nutritious food.
Intestinal Microbiome Conditions the Effects of Diet on the Body and Determines Its Impact on Health
The intestinal microbiome, the set of microorganisms that inhabit the intestine and its genomes, acts as a fundamental intermediary between diet and health. A review published in the journal Nature Reviews Gastroenterology & Hepatology delves into this connection and analyzes how food influences the composition and functions of these microbial communities and, in turn, how these microorganisms modify the healthy properties of the diet, with effe…
