While the total number is decreasing, 34% of Japan's population will be 65 years or older by 2055.
This is higher than European countries United States, China, India, Korea or Singapore.

Prevalence* of Self-Reported Obesity Among U.S. Adults by State and Territory, BRFSS, 2013
The gut microbiota and obesity: from correlation to causalityLiping Zhao, NATURE REVIEWS MICROBIOLOGY, 2013
In the United States, it is estimated that the total health care costs attributable to obesity or overweight patients will double every decade to reach US$860.7–956.9 billion by 2030, accounting for 16–18% of the total US health care costs.
Not really easy!
Ageing deeply affects the structure of the human gut microbiota, as well as its
homeostasis with the host’s immune system.
Because of its crucial role in the host physiology and health
status, age-related differences in the gut microbiota composition
may be related to the progression of diseases and
frailty in the elderly population.Biagi E, Nylund L, Candela M, Ostan R, Bucci L, et al. (2010) Through Ageing, and Beyond: Gut Microbiota and Inflammatory Status in Seniors and Centenarians. PLoS ONE 5(5): e10667. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0010667

relatively low diversity, with
great inter-individual variability
3 Yrs: more diverse
‘‘adult-like’’ structure
increase in Actinobacteria and Proteobacteria
and increased diversity, but the gut microbiota
returns to its original structure some time after
delivery
The human intestinal microbiota is • is individual-specific at the level of the OTUs• stable over time in healthy adults• required for development and homeostasis of
the immune system+ 65 years: • increase in Bacteroidetes• extremely variable between individuals• different from the core microbiota and
diversity levels of younger adults
• changing diet
Alterations in oral / intestinal microbiota composition, which are associated with:
Affecting the intestinal microbiota
Cause or consequence often not so clear
Linked to chronic conditions • obesity• inflammatory diseases (IBD, arthritis, …)• irritable bowel syndrome
levels of frailty
• deterioration in dentition• salivary function• digestion • intestinal transit time• nutritional status
• compositional changes• metabolic changes• immune changes
However, links between diet, microbiota composition and health in large human cohorts are unclear…

Eldermet studyMeasuring intestinal microbiota composition and diet together with immune and metabolic parameters in elderly from different community situations
• 178 elderly (mean age = 78 yrs; ranging from 64 to 102), from different residence locations in the community
• community dwellers, N=83; • attending an out-patient day hospital, N=20• in shortterm (<6 weeks) rehabilitation hospital care, N=15• long-term residential care (long-stay), N=60
• 13 young adults with a mean age of 36 yrs.
• Parameters measured• faecal microbiota• dietary intake information• faecal water metabolites• inflammation• psychological parameters

Major separating metabolites
glutarate and butyrate community subjects
glucose, glycine and lipidslong-stay community subjects
acetate, propionate and valerate, were also more abundant in community dwellers.
Metagenomic genes predicted for butyrate, acetate and propionate production were significant higher in rehabilitation or community subjects compared to long-stay subjects.
Metabolic parameters in faecal water: the genera involved
Candidate genera associated include Ruminococcus and Butyricicoccus for butyrate production.
Requires validation in larger cohorts though.

But what about the immune parameters?
The immune system: a lifetime dynamics?
Systematic differences at older age: immunosenescence!
What is immunosenescence?
Immunosenescence is the functional deterioration of the immune system during natural aging. It is evidenced by• increased susceptibility to bacterial infections • decreased NK cell activity• persistent NF-kB-mediated inflammation (also sign of inflamm-aging)• chronic activation of the innate and adaptive immune system• increased pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (although also often
encountered in young adults)
• changes to neutrophil responses

Increased tissue damage during migration increased inflammation?
Elderly neutrophils cause 40% more tissue damage during migration.
In the Eldermet study 8 groups rather than 4 diet groups were discriminated for global health analysis, including immune status,

Protection in the TNBS colitis model
Heat-killed Lactobacillus gasseri can enhance immunity in the elderly in a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3920/BM2014.0108
AbstractThis double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted to test whether Lactobacillus gasseri TMC0356 (TMC0356) can modify the immune response in the elderly. Heat-killed TMC0356 or placebo was orally administered to 28 healthy subjects aged 50-70 years old for 4 weeks at a dosage of 1.0×109 cfu/day. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were collected from the subjects before and after the study completion, together with general health and blood examination records. Isolated PBMCs were examined for the number of T cells, CD8+CD28+ cells, native T cells, B cells, natural killer (NK) cells and the ratios of CD4/CD8 T cells and native/memory T cells. NK cell activation and concanavalin A-induced lymphocyte transformation of the isolated PBMCs were also examined.
The number of CD8+ T cells significantly increased in the subjects after TMC0356 oral administration (P<0.05). Furthermore, the population of CD8+CD28+ T cells and the amount of lymphocyte transformation both significantly decreased in PBMCs from the placebo group (P<0.05). However, such changes were not observed in the subjects exposed to TMC0356. These results suggest that TMC0356 can increase the number of CD8+ T cells and reduce CD28 expression loss in CD8+ T cells of the elderly.
The effect of TMC0356 on immune responses in the elderly may enhance their natural defense mechanisms against pathogenic infections.

The effects of non-viable Lactobacillus paracasei on immune function in the elderly: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study
AbstractForty-two participants in two nursing homes who were ≥65 years of age were randomised to receive a jelly containing 10 billion heat-killed Lactobacillus paracasei MCC1849 cells (LP group) or a placebo jelly without lactobacilli (placebo group) for 6 weeks. Three weeks after beginning jelly intake, all subjects received an influenza vaccination (A/H1N1, A/H2N3 and B). Blood samples were collected before and after the treatment period. There were no significant differences in immune parameters, including in antibody responses against the vaccination, between the groups. In the subgroup of the oldest old, defined as ≥85 years of age (n = 27), the antibody responses to the A/H1N1 and B antigens, which were impaired in the placebo group, were improved in the LP group. No significant effects of non-viable L. paracasei MCC1849 were observed in the elderly. A possible beneficial effect in the oldest old should be explored in further large-scale studies.Keywords: Antibody titre, immunosenescence, Lactobacillus paracasei, oldest old, vaccination

Conclusion regarding elderly people (eldermet study)
• Collectively, the data support a relationship between diet, microbiota and health status.
• The healthiest people live in a community setting, eat better and have a microbiota distinct from long-term residential care people.
• Measures of increased inflammation and increased frailty support a diet– microbiota link regarding accelerated ageing.
• The intestinal microbiota of older people is associated with inflammation.
• Many studies argue in favor of an approach of modulating the microbiota with dietary interventions, designed to promote healthier ageing.
• Dietary supplements with defined food ingredients that promote particular components of the microbiota may prove useful for maintaining health in older people; this could be pro- and /or prebiotics
