To understand the implications of this demographic shift, data from the 2013/2014 HCP-ENCDM survey were used to analyze the impact of socio-economic factors on the annual healthcare expenditures of vulnerable elderly households and their standard of living. Specifically, this study examined differences in healthcare expenditures by region, area of residence (urban vs. rural), gender, household size, profession, and education level of the household head. Due to significant departures from normality and heterogeneity of variances across groups, nonparametric tests including the Mann–Whitney U test and the Kruskal–Wallis test with subsequent pairwise comparisons were employed. The findings reveal statistically significant differences in healthcare expenditures across all examined socio-economic dimensions. These results highlight the critical role of local economic conditions, access to healthcare, and social determinants in shaping expenditure patterns among vulnerable elderly households.

Among these, the gut microbiome plays a crucial role in modulating health and disease across the lifespan. This review explores the dynamic relationship between aging and the gut microbiome, highlighting its implications for age-related diseases. As individuals age, the gut microbiome undergoes significant compositional and functional changes, often leading to dysbiosis—an imbalance associated with increased inflammation, weakened immunity, and metabolic disorders. The phenomenon of inflammaging, characterized by chronic low-grade inflammation, is closely linked to gut microbial alterations and contributes to neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular conditions, and metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. Additionally, the gut-brain axis is emerging as a critical pathway in neurocognitive aging, with microbial metabolites influencing brain function and neuroprotection.</div><div>Given these insights, targeted interventions such as probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) are being explored as potential strategies to restore microbial balance and improve health outcomes in the elderly. Diet, antibiotics, and medication use also play pivotal roles in shaping gut microbiota composition, further influencing longevity and disease susceptibility. This review synthesizes current research on the aging gut microbiome and discusses therapeutic advancements aimed at mitigating age-related diseases through microbiome-based strategies. Finally, we provide a perspective on future directions in microbiome research, emphasizing its potential in precision medicine for aging populations.
