a Principal Coordinate Analysis plot illustrating the intestinal microbiota of stool samples from aged care residents (n = 123, pink) and the non-elderly cohort (n = 20, grey). b Box and whisker plot comparing Bray-Curtis (BC) dissimilarity distance from centroid. c Box and whisker plot comparing species richness (Mann-Whitney U test). d Box and whisker plot comparing cumulative relative abundance of butyrate-producing species (Mann-Whitney U test). The box centre lines denote the median, the box limits denote the inter-quartile range (IQR), and whiskers extend to the limits. **p < 0.01, ****p < 0.0001
