Abstract

In conclusion, Lachnoclostridium is significantly enriched in the intestines of elderly Uygur patients with sarcopenia; the increase in Lachnoclostridium abundance and the decrease in Streptobacillus abundance are associated with high levels of IL-6. Therefore, abnormal intestinal flora is related to inflammatory reflexes in patients with sarcopenia.
