Core Tip	Gut microbiota involved in the development or prevention of various diseases. The composition of gut microbiota is altered by conditions such as type 2 diabetes, fatty liver, and malignancy such as colorectal cancer, breast cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. Moreover, gut microbiota have been associated with Alzheimer’s disease, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, atherosclerotic stroke and cardiovascular disease. All of these diseases are major causes of decreased activities of daily living (ADL). This review summarizes current understanding of the role of gut microbiota in the development or prevention of diseases closely associated with the maintenance of ADL.
