Geriatric syndrome is associated with conditions like cognitive impairment and constipation, which reduce quality of life.
- Gut microbiota may influence the progression of geriatric syndrome through interactions with the gut-brain axis.
- The study explored potential causal links between gut microbiota and constipation.
- Constipation may be related to mild cognitive impairment in older adults.
- Microbial characteristics were investigated in relation to both constipation and cognitive status.
