The overall aim of the TEMPUS-FUGIT study is to assess gut microbiota composition in older persons without sarcopenia and to determine the relationship with and between intestinal and systemic inflammation and with sarcopenia-defining parameters (muscle mass, muscle strength and physical performance). The gut microbiota of older persons without sarcopenia (included in TEMPUS-FUGIT) will be compared with the gut microbiota of older people with sarcopenia, participating in the Exercise and Nutrition for Healthy AgeiNg (ENHANce) study (NCT03649698).
