flag Researchers link specific gut bacteria levels to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease in a new study.

flag Researchers from the University of California, San Francisco have found that specific gut bacteria can predict Alzheimer's disease. flag Higher levels of bacteria like Ruminococcus and Coprococcus and lower levels of Bacteroides are linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's. flag The study, involving 2,007 participants, also noted lower levels of short-chain fatty acids in those with Alzheimer's, which could play a role in maintaining a healthy gut and brain. flag These findings could lead to new diagnostic tests and treatments for the disease.
