Core Tip Probiotics and prebiotics may play a significant role in managing functional constipation (FC) in elderly individuals by modulating gut microbiota and alleviating symptoms. The interplay between gut microbiota dysbiosis and the gut-brain axis further complicates FC, necessitating a multifaceted treatment approach that includes microecological agents to enhance gut health and improve the quality of life for older adults. Recent studies have highlighted the potential use of probiotics and prebiotics in managing FC, particularly in the elderly individuals.
