Inflammaging and the role of micronutrients as immunomodulators: a pathway to healthy aging.
Abstract
Healthy aging is increasingly challenged by inflammaging, a chronic, low‑grade inflammatory state primarily exacerbated by gut microbiota dysbiosis and declining immune function. Persistent digestive and systemic inflammation, along with immunosenescence, contributes to multiple age‑related diseases. Micronutrients regulate key components of immune system and support the composition and function of the gut microbiota, underscoring their emerging role as modulators of inflammaging.

Research summary
Micronutrients can modulate inflammaging and support healthy aging by regulating immune function and gut microbiota. The paper addresses the underlying mechanisms of aging and inflammation, which are crucial for understanding and potentially mitigating age-related diseases.
