Summary

This study tested whether a 6-month program combining physical and mental exercises, special foods, and vaccines could improve the health of 90 elderly people living in nursing homes. The goal was to see if this mix of activities could help slow age-related declines in thinking and physical strength. The program was compared to usual care, and researchers measured changes in gut bacteria as a key sign of health.
