Descrição: An aging global population poses substantial challenges to society [1]. Centenarians are a model for healthy aging because they have reached the extreme limit of life by escaping, surviving, or delaying chronic diseases [2]. The genetics of centenarians have been extensively examined [3], but less is known about their gut microbiotas. Recently, Biagi et al.[4] characterized the gut microbiota in Italian centenarians and semi-supercentenarians. Here, we compare the gut microbiota of Chinese long-living people with younger age groups, and with the results from the Italian population [4], to identify gut-microbial signatures of healthy aging. Kong, et al. identified gut-microbiota signatures of longevity in healthy people (≥90 years old) in both Chinese and Italian populations. This study suggests that long-living people could be used to study the relationship between gut microbiota and healthy aging.
