Recruitment & Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria

1) In principle, over 65 years old and under 90 years old.
Because we wanted to evaluate the effect on elderly people, we selected patients aged 65 and older. Also, the reason why it was chosen to be under 90 years old
This was because it was determined that people over 90 years of age are not eligible for research because it has been shown that there are many metabolites that are associated with the risk of age-related diseases and weaken the intestinal barrier function.
However, if there are not enough research participants, those who wish to participate will be eligible to participate in the research if they are 60 years of age or older.
