Dayhoff microbiome Age Research Edition

We’re exploring how the microbiome evolves after age 60 — what shifts happen, and why they’re important. By taking part, you’ll help Dayhoff uncover the crucial microbiome changes that come with aging.

As we age, the trillions of bacteria in our gut microbiome change significantly.¹

These shifts can reduce microbial diversity and increase levels of pro-inflammatory bacteria, which may contribute to age-related concerns like weakened immunity, metabolic issues, and cognitive decline.²

Understanding how the gut microbiome evolves after age 60 is essential for developing ways to support healthier aging. By studying these changes, Dayhoff aims to uncover insights that could inform better strategies for maintaining well-being later in life.
