Animal and human data make a compelling case for differences in the gut microbiome between individuals to contribute to variations in the pace of aging. There is an even better case for age-related changes in the relative proportions of microbial species making up the gut microbiome to accelerate degenerative aging, via loss of beneficial metabolite production and increased chronic inflammation, among other mechanisms.
