A recent study published in Nature Aging explores the relationship between chronic inflammation and aging across various populations, including Indigenous communities. The research involved nearly 3,000 adults from Italy, Singapore, Bolivia, and Malaysia, revealing that while chronic inflammation increased with age in industrialized groups and correlated with age-related illnesses, Indigenous groups did not exhibit the same patterns. These findings challenge the assumption that inflammation is an inevitable aspect of aging, suggesting that environmental factors play a significant role in how inflammation affects health across different populations.
People from Indigenous communities do not show the same link between chronic inflammation and age-related illness seen in industrialised societies, suggesting environment impacts inflammation.
Researchers found in a study that chronic inflammation could be a feature of industrialized living, as it did not increase with age among Indigenous populations.
