Inflammaging: a new immune-metabolic viewpoint for age-related diseases

Summary Does long-term low-level inflammation help drive age-related diseases? Show / hide ↓

This 2018 paper brought together existing research rather than testing a new treatment. It did not enroll people or run a new experiment. It described “inflammaging,” meaning the gradual rise in low-level inflammation as people get older. It also explored immune-metabolic links, meaning how the immune system and the body’s processing of energy may influence each other during aging.

What this means for you: This is useful background, not proof that reducing inflammation will prevent aging or disease. There is no specific supplement, food, or treatment to buy based on this paper alone.
