Gut microbiota undergo significant changes with aging, especially in nursing home residents, contributing to immune decline, inflammation, and frailty. Maintaining a diverse, balanced gut microbiome through tailored nutrition and possibly microbiota-targeted therapies may help preserve intestinal health, reduce age-related inflammation, and support overall resilience in older adults. These insights highlight the practical importance of diet and gut health management for healthy aging and preventing chronic conditions linked to microbiome imbalances.
