Summary

This study is testing whether taking fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) in capsule form can reduce frailty and improve overall health in people aged 70 to 85. The idea is that restoring a healthier mix of gut bacteria might slow down aging and lower the risk of age-related diseases. Researchers will track changes in frailty, thinking skills, and physical function over nearly two years.
