Previously, a number of studies have found that people who are more "wise" are less likely to feel lonely, and those who are surrounded by loneliness are often less wise.
(Related reading: Neurobiology Research: "Loneliness" is the opposite of "Wisdom".
The smarter you are, the less you will feel lonely.
) Recently, a study published in "Frontier in Psychiatry", led by the University of California, San Diego The research team conducted an in-depth study on this issue and found that there seems to be a connection between a person's intelligence and loneliness and the diversity of gut microbes.
More and more studies have confirmed that intestinal microbes shape our bodies all the time and affect our physical and mental health.
Recently, a study published in "Cell" showed that probiotics can be supplemented to treat brain diseases and improve social behavior.
(Related reading: Cell Heavy: Treating brain diseases with probiotics and improving social behavior!) This is precisely through the "gut-brain axis" to help regulate brain function.
The "gut-brain axis" is a complex network that connects the function of the gut with the emotional and cognitive centers of the brain.
This two-way communication system is regulated by nerve activity, hormones and immune system.
Changes in the "gut-brain axis" can lead to changes in stress response and behavior, and may also evoke higher-order cognitive abilities, such as decision-making capabilities.
Researchers believe that wisdom is related to certain areas of the brain, and higher wisdom can translate into higher levels of happiness and life satisfaction; moreover, more intelligent individuals are associated with a wide range of social networks and diversification of the gut microbiome related.
However, previous studies have found that people who are more lonely often do not have these positive traits.
For this reason, the researchers decided to further study this connection to determine how the gut microbial diversity is related to what happens in the brain.
They examined the intestinal health of 187 individuals between 28 and 97 years old.
Each participant completed a self-survey questionnaire measuring loneliness, wisdom, compassion, social support, and social participation.
The researchers also analyzed the participants’ stool samples to determine the status of their gut microbiome.
First, they search for the ecological diversity (α diversity) of each person's intestinal flora, and then compare the differences between individuals (β diversity).
Researchers found that lower loneliness and higher intelligence, compassion, social support, and participation were significantly associated with greater alpha diversity in the gut microbiome.
Who is the cause? Who is the fruit? Although the results of this study found a connection between the two, the researchers said that they still don't know what causes the connection between wisdom, loneliness, and gut microbial diversity.
Researchers have indeed observed that the decrease in gut microbial diversity can lead to deterioration of physical and mental health.
This also increases the risk of obesity, inflammatory bowel disease and depression.
These results are consistent with those obtained in the field of intestinal microbiome research.
Researchers believe that loneliness may lead to a decrease in the stability of the intestinal flora, thereby reducing the body's resistance and recovery ability to cope with stress-related disturbances, which in turn leads to downstream physiological effects, such as systemic inflammation.
A healthy and diverse intestinal flora can buffer the negative effects of chronic stress or help shape social behavior that promotes wisdom.
The decrease in alpha diversity may not represent an obvious disease state, but it is indeed not the best state for disease prevention.
Therefore, people with higher loneliness may be more susceptible to different types of diseases.
Studies have found that this link between loneliness and microbial diversity seems to be closer in the elderly.
These results are also consistent with previous studies that found that elderly people are particularly vulnerable to health problems due to loneliness.
So, does a healthier intestine make people smarter, or does a smarter and happier person have a healthier intestine? Regardless of who is the cause, research has found that greater social support can prevent problems related to loneliness in the human microbiome.
It can make people better cope with stress, and help shape individual behavior and enhance wisdom.
The researchers pointed out that their study does have some limitations, including the lack of data on each person’s social network, diet, and degree of social isolation.
Therefore, more large-scale and longer-term research is needed.

Jeste, the corresponding author of the study, said: "Loneliness may lead to changes in the gut microbiota, or conversely, changes in the gut environment may make individuals become lonely.
We need further thorough research to better understand Brain-gut axis phenomenon.
