Learn how chronic low-grade inflammation accelerates aging and evidence-based strategies to reduce it.
Chronic low-grade inflammation—termed inflammaging—has emerged as a central driver of aging and age-related diseases. Unlike acute inflammation that heals injuries, chronic inflammation slowly damages tissues, accelerates cellular aging, and increases risk of virtually every major disease. Understanding and addressing inflammaging is essential for longevity.
Multiple factors contribute to age-related inflammation:
Inflammaging contributes to virtually all age-related conditions:
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP):
Inflammatory markers fluctuate:
