Nurturing Senior Gut Health for Vitality and Wellness

We provide the world's most advance next generation sequencing gut tests

Gastrointestinal issues play a significant role in increasing hospital admissions, especially among seniors, leading to a large number of health issues, an increase in medical costs, and a drastic decline in the quality of life and well-being of the elderly.

Bio Healthcare Networks, we understand that when it comes to health, especially gastrointestinal well-being, each individual is unique. With our cutting-edge solutions, we develop a customized plan tailored precisely to your individual microbiota characteristics, ensuring effective and targeted solutions for all your gastrointestinal issues alongside all the other benefits.

Explore the facts, the potential impact and the connection between gut health and aging

  • Prevalence of Constipation: Studies have shown that constipation is a common issue in seniors, affecting up to 26% of women and 16% of men over the age of 65. The prevalence increases with age.
  • Hospitalizations: Gastrointestinal issues are a significant cause of hospitalization in seniors. For example, diverticulitis, a condition associated with aging, results in over 200,000 hospitalizations annually.
  • Constipation: Constipation is a common issue among the elderly in Italy, as it is elsewhere. Studies suggest that the prevalence can be as high as 20-30% in the elderly population, increasing with age and more common in women.
  • ITALY: the most common digestive complaint in the general population, accounting for more than 2.5 million doctor visits annually.
  • Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): While IBS can affect individuals at any age, seniors are not exempt, and there is a prevalence of IBS-like symptoms in the elderly population in Italy.
  • Itay Diverticular Disease: This is a common condition affecting the colon, and its prevalence increases with age. In Western countries like Italy, diverticulosis affects more than 50% of the population over the age of 70.
  • Diverticular Disease: The prevalence of diverticular disease increases with age, affecting nearly 70% of people over the age of 80 in the US and UK. It results in more than 200,000 hospitalizations annually in the US.
  • Medication Use: Older adults are more likely to be prescribed medications that can affect gut health. For example, up to 40% of seniors take laxatives regularly.
  • Around 50% of people over the age of 80 in the UK are estimated to have diverticulosis.
  • UK Constipation: Constipation affects up to 20% of the elderly population, leading to numerous GP visits and hospital admissions.
  • Bowel Cancer: Bowel cancer is a leading cause of cancer death in the UK, with the risk increasing significantly with age.

  • Reduced Gut Motility: Decreased Muscle Tone: As people age, the muscles in the digestive tract can become weaker and less efficient, leading to slower movement of food and waste through the gut. This can result in constipation.
  • Reduced Secretions: There may be a decrease in the production of digestive juices and enzymes, which can affect the breakdown of food and absorption of nutrients.
  • Build-up of long-term eating habits: Primary Influence: Diet is the main factor shaping gut microbiota, with long-term habits having a significant impact. While microbiota responds quickly to short-term dietary changes, transgenerational patterns shape its long-term composition and diversity.
  • Modernization v Traditional Lifestyles: Modern populations have less diverse microbiota with lower fiber degradation capabilities compared to remote rural populations or hunter-gatherer tribes. Changes in the food industry and medical sector (e.g., antibiotics) have contributed to these alterations.
  • Medications: Side Effects: Many medications that seniors take can affect gut health, causing constipation, diarrhea, or other digestive issues.
  • Antibiotics: These can disrupt the balance of good & bad bacteria in the gut, leading to problems like Clostridium difficile infection.
  • Dehydration: Older adults are at a higher risk of dehydration, which can contribute to constipation.
  • Lack of Physical Activity: Physical activity helps to stimulate gut motility. Seniors often have reduced mobility, which can contribute to constipation and other digestive issues.
  • Changes in Gut Microbiota: The composition of the gut microbiome changes with age, which can affect digestion and the immune system.
  • Age-Related Changes: Older populations tend to have less diverse microbiota with more pathobionts, influenced by long-term exposure to stressors and increased prevalence of certain diseases.
  • Chronic Health Conditions: Conditions such as diabetes, Parkinson’s disease, and others can affect gut motility and function.
  • Sensory Decline: Reduction in taste and smell can lead to a decreased interest in eating, which can affect the regular intake of food and lead to irregular bowel movements.
  • Disease and Frailty: This can contribute to frailty, microbiota dysfunction, and progression of metabolic diseases.
  • Cognitive Decline: Conditions like dementia can lead to poor eating habits and neglect of dietary needs.
  • Structural Changes: Aging can lead to changes in the structure of the digestive system, such as diverticulosis, which can cause complications.
  • Stress and Psychological Factors: Seniors may experience stress, anxiety, or depression, all of which can have a significant impact on gut health.
