Gut Microbiota in Elderly Japanese Patients Undergoing Long-Term tube feeding

2025-08-05

Tube feeding (TF) is a common nutritional intervention in elderly patients. However, TF may change the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota, resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and constipation.
