This Microbiome, Nutrition and Metabolic Healthspan session explores how diet, gut microbiota, and metabolism interact to shape aging and healthspan. Topics include age-related changes in microbiome composition and function, microbial metabolites influencing inflammation, immunity, and neurobiology, and host–microbe interactions across the lifespan. Nutritional strategies such as protein optimization, dietary patterns, caloric restriction, and specific bioactive nutrients will be examined in relation to physical function, cognition, and disease risk. Presentations will highlight mechanistic and interventional studies linking microbiome and nutritional interventions to metabolic health, sarcopenia, frailty, and cardiometabolic outcomes in older adults, including precision nutrition approaches.
