Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To analyze the differences in the composition of gut microbiome in the gastrointestinal tract with regard to the dominant Genera between elderly and patients with functional gastrointestinal diseases, gastric, pancreatic and colorectal cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
to analyse: - How does the gut microbiota change during aging? - How does the mucosa-adherent microbiome differ from fecal microbiome after bowel-cleansing ? - Which enviromental factors influence the differences in gut microbiota composition? (residence location in the community, nutrition)? - How does the gut microbiota influence pro- /antiinflammatory mucosal processes? - Does an influence of the gut microbiota on systemic inflammation in the above mentioned populations exist? - How do the above mentioned populations differ with regard to the nutritional anamnesis and the nutritional assessment, and how do these factors influence the gut microbiota? - Can interventional models be developed as a result of the differences detected between the selected populations aiming at therapeutic interventions to correct disease-related dysbiosis?
