Abstract
Purpose of Review
The purpose of this review is to summarize the scientific evidence published in the past 5 years examining the epidemiology of bone health as it relates to the gut microbiome, across race and ethnicity groups.
Recent Findings
The link between the gut microbiome and bone health is well established and is supported by numerous biological mechanisms. However, human study research in this field is dominated by studies of older adults residing in Asian countries. A limited number of epidemiological and randomized controlled trials have been conducted with individuals in other countries; however, they are marked by their racial and ethnic homogeneity, use varied measures of the gut microbiome, and different interventions (where applicable), making comparisons across race and ethnic groups difficult.
Summary
As the global prevalence of osteoporosis increases, the need for lifestyle interventions is critical. Existing data suggest that racial and ethnic differences in gut microbiome exist. Studies examining the relation between bone health and gut microbial structure and function across diverse racial and ethnic groups are needed to determine appropriate microbiome-based interventions.
