Online now: Healthful plant-based diet, gut enterotype, and cognition in a rural Chinese elderly cohort: A longitudinal multi-omics study
Shen et al. report that a healthful plant-based diet is associated with distinct gut microbiome features and a 12-metabolite signature. The diet-cognition association varied by gut microbiome enterotype, with stronger benefits in individuals with non-Prevotella-dominant enterotypes. These findings suggest that gut microbial context may shape diet-cognition associations in later life.
