In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, a team of researchers in China conducted a prospective analysis of metabolic multimorbidity clusters based on 21 metabolic parameters to investigate gut microbiome signatures associated with metabolism and age to better understand the relationship between metabolism, age, and the long term risk of cardiovascular disease.

Background

Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of global mortality, and metabolic perturbations and age, which are also intricately connected, are believed to contribute significantly to the risk of cardiovascular disease. Metabolic disturbances increase in complexity and prevalence with age, and older adults typically develop cardiovascular disease in a multimorbidity context.
