The participants, who were either frail (n=28), on the verge of frailty (n=151), or not frail (n=433) at the beginning of the study, lived in five different countries: France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, and the UK. 323 individuals agreed to follow a Mediterranean-type diet for 1 year, while the rest continued with their usual diets and acted as a control group.
Sticking to the Mediterranean diet for 12 months was associated with beneficial changes to the gut microbiome, rich in microbiome diversity.
