Summary

This study looked at how eating a high-fat diet for 5 days affects inflammation in older adults (ages 50-79) with normal weight or obesity. Researchers measured blood markers and gut bacteria to see if a high-fat diet causes more inflammation than a low-fat diet. The goal was to understand how body weight and diet together influence inflammation in aging.
