PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)
Sample size24
MethodsObservational
OutcomesBody Mass Index projections
ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.
Gut Microbiota in Patients With Irritable Bowel Syndrome-A Systematic Review.
Specific bacteria are associated with gut microbiomes of irritable bowel syndrome patients compared to controls, but further studies are needed to determine their cause or effect.

A low FODMAP diet is associated with changes in the microbiota and reduction in breath hydrogen but not colonic volume in healthy subjects
A low FODMAP diet reduces total bacterial count and gas production in healthy subjects, but has little effect on colonic volume.

Fecal and Mucosa-Associated Intestinal Microbiota in Patients with Diarrhea-Predominant Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Fecal and mucosal microbiota of IBS-D patients and healthy controls are very similar, but differences in fecal microbiota may not explain the altered physiology and symptomatology of IBS-D.
