Research Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship among gut microbiota, health conditions and certain diseases. The subjects were about 1000 residents of Iwaki area, Hirosaki city. We determined types of gut microbiota, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and percentage of body fat, and analysed them. The association between gut microbiota and baPWV was not observed. In female subjects over 65 years old, the ratio of OCU 332 (Lactobacillales) in gut microbiota among the group with BMI less than 20.0 was significantly highest compared with other groups.
