Three common assumptions about inflammation, aging, and health that are probably wrong.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 19 Dec 2023

McDade Thomas W

Abstract excerpt

Chronic inflammation contributes to the onset and progression of cardiovascular disease and other degenerative diseases of aging. But does it have to? This article considers the associations among inflammation, aging, and health through the lens of human population biology and suggests that chronic inflammation is not a normal nor inevitable component of aging. It is commonly assumed that conclusions drawn from...
