Abstract

BACKGROUND: Yin-deficiency constitution (YinDC) refers to a traditional Chinese medicine concept, characterized by an imbalance state that includes an imbalance in the gut microbiota, resulting from a relative deficiency of Yin fluids within the body. In recent years, it has become apparent that the composition and structure of the gut microbiota play a significant role in the aging process. The imbalance of gut microbiota in YinDC may accelerate the aging process. However, the specific gut microbiota compositions involved in the YinDC premature aging process remain unknown.
