Abstract

Objectives: To assess the impact of a personalized diet, with or without addition of VSL#3 preparation, on biomarkers of inflammation, nutrition, oxidative stress and intestinal microbiota in 62 healthy persons aged 65-85 years. Design: Open label, randomized, multicenter study. Primary endpoint: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein. Setting: Community. Interventions: Eight week web-based dietary advice (RISTOMED platform) alone or with supplementation of VSL#3 (2 capsules per day). The RISTOMED diet was optimized to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. Measurements: Blood and stool samples were collected on days 1 and 56. Results: Dietalone reduced ESR (. p=0.02), plasma levels of cholesterol (. p
