Inflammaging Attenuation Science

Meaning

Inflammaging Attenuation Science is the specialized field dedicated to identifying, measuring, and therapeutically mitigating the chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammation that underlies the aging process. This subclinical inflammation, termed ‘inflammaging,’ is a primary driver of age-related hormonal dysregulation, cellular senescence, and the development of chronic diseases. Attenuation science focuses on strategies that actively reduce the circulating levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. Successful attenuation is a key vector for extending healthspan and optimizing endocrine function.
