A More Diverse Oral Microbiome May Help Protect Against Frailty
This study suggests maintaining good oral health may support healthy aging beyond just dental benefits.
People over 50 with less bacterial diversity in their mouths tended to be more frail. Researchers studied nearly 2,700 U.S. adults and found this link held across multiple measures of microbial variety. They also used a genetic analysis technique to identify specific mouth bacteria that may causally increase or decrease frailty risk. The findings suggest oral health could be a modifiable factor in healthy aging.
