Woman Who Lived to 117 Had Microbiota of a Child

The article discusses the case of Jeanne Calment, who lived to be 117 years old, making her the oldest verified person in history. Scientists from the University of Rome Tor Vergata analyzed her gut microbiota, which was preserved in samples taken when she was 111 years old. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, revealed that Calment's gut microbiome was remarkably similar to that of a much younger individual, specifically resembling the microbial composition found in healthy children. This finding suggests that a youthful gut microbiome might contribute to longevity. The researchers noted that her microbiota was rich in bacteria associated with health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and the production of vitamins and short-chain fatty acids, which are linked to metabolic health and immune function. This unique microbial profile could potentially offer insights into aging and how to promote a longer, healthier life.
