Christensenellaceae

^[1]^[2]

Introduction

Christensenellaceae allegedly associated with a favorable metebolic profile^[2]

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]

30-60% in the relative abundance of Christensenellaceae across individuals is due to genetic factors^[1]
