Evidence-Based Approaches to Chronic Inflammation and Healthspan

Chronic low-grade inflammation is implicated in many long-term conditions. Measurement, however, is imprecise, and the clinical response depends on context.

This piece organizes the practical questions clinicians face into a decision-oriented framework.

Key findings

• Effect sizes vary substantially across studies.
• Applicability to healthy adults remains contingent on further evidence.
• Careful monitoring is warranted when interventions are used off-label.

Clinical context

Recommendations should always be considered within the individual patient's clinical picture.

Limitations

Publication bias, heterogeneous protocols, and short follow-up limit strong conclusions.
