摘要： The present invention relates to a method for determining and/or monitoring the state of health and/or balance of the intestinal microbiota of an individual, said method being characterised by the steps of: typing the bacterial populations present in a sample isolated from an individual, preferably a faecal sample, said populations being representative of the intestinal microbiota of the individual; and measuring a series of indices of the microbiota which provide information on the individual's state of health. The indices are the diversity index, the index of anti-inflammatory and/or immunomodulating potential, the index of association between said intestinal microbiota and at least one pathological condition, and the index of association between said intestinal microbiota and systemic aging. All the indices are calculated compared to a reference microbiota consisting of that of a population of healthy individuals.
