More pro-inflammatory diet was related with higher pPD probability and pPD incidence (pPD probability ≥30%) in a community-dwelling older adult population. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
The gut microbiota is composed of several microbial strains, with diverse and variablecombinations in healthy and sick persons, changing at different stages of life. A healthy balancebetween host and gut microorganisms must be maintained in order to perform the normal physiological, metabolic, and immune functions and prevent disease development. Disturbances in the balanceof the gut
The identification of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is mainly dependent on motorsymptoms, while the non-motor symptoms exist even decades ahead of the PDdiagnosis. According to Braak’s hypothesis, the enteric plexus is the first affectedsite during the pathological development of PD, and gastrointestinal (GI) symptomsappear during the onset of the disease. Although GI symptoms decrease the lifequality
According to psychobiotic research expansion, the gut microbiome—a colony of more than 1000 species—is connected to brainhealth and state of mind. Historically, even though a variety of body parts and systems were linked to the nervous system in thenineteenth century, researchers began began researching the gut, especially the stomach, calling it ‘the great abdominal brain’,

The importance of the gut-brain axis in maintaining homeostasis has long been appreciated. However,the past 15 yr have seen the emergence of the microbiota (the trillions of microorganisms withinand on our bodies) as one of the key regulators of gut-brain function and has led to the appreciationof the importance of a distinct microbiota-gut-brain axis.This axis
