Chronic Inflammation Drivers

Meaning

Chronic Inflammation Drivers are the persistent, underlying stimuli that sustain a low-grade, systemic inflammatory state, often without the acute symptoms of infection or injury. These drivers include factors such as persistent metabolic dysfunction, visceral adiposity, gut microbiome dysbiosis, and chronic psychological stress. Unlike acute inflammation, which is a necessary protective response, chronic inflammation is maladaptive, contributing to systemic tissue damage and acting as a common denominator in numerous age-related and lifestyle diseases. Identifying and neutralizing these specific drivers is a cornerstone of precision health and longevity medicine.
