Christensenellaceae allegedly associated with a favorable metebolic profile[2]
Epidemiology
- relative abundance of Christensenellaceae in the human gut is inversely related to host body mass index (BMI) in different populations
- related to a healthy status different disease contexts, including obesity & inflammatory bowel disease
- Christensenellaceae has been associated with human longevity, based on relative abundance of Christensenellaceae is greater in centenarians & supercentenarians in comparison to younger individuals in populations in China[1]
- relative abundance of Christensenellaceae increases with age[1]
Genetics
- 30-60% in the relative abundance of Christensenellaceae across individuals is due to genetic factors[1]
