| Core Tip |
This study highlights the distinct gut microbiota profiles associated with age and constipation subtypes in patients with functional constipation (FC). Using 16S rRNA sequencing, we found significant age-related differences in microbial diversity and composition, with older adults exhibiting reduced richness and beneficial taxa. Constipation subtypes also showed distinct microbial patterns, with slow-transit constipation enriched in taxa linked to reduced motility and defecatory disorder characterized by motility-promoting microbes. These findings underscore the pathophysiological heterogeneity of FC and support the development of age- and subtype-specific microbiota-targeted therapies for precision diagnosis and treatment. |
