Specifically, the trillions of bacteria that live in our gut.Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and increases in incidence as we age. Typically, age-associated cardiovascular disease results from multiple morbidities, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and obesity.
Over a 10- to 11-year period, those in MC4 saw a 75 percent higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared with MC1, while those in MC5 saw a 117 percent increased risk. Of these participants, fecal samples were taken from 4,491 individuals and analyzed to establish any clear patterns in the gut microbes of each multi-morbidity cluster group.
