1 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
In preclinical models, the composition and function of the gut microbiota have been linked to bone growth and homeostasis, but there are few available data from studies of human populations. In a hypothesis-generating experiment in a large cohort of community-dwelling older men (n = 831; age range, 78-98 years), we explored the associations between fecal microbial profiles and bone density, microarchitecture, and...
