Chronic inflammation in the etiology of disease across the life span
Open accessAbstract
Although intermittent increases in inflammation are critical for survival during physical injury and infection, recent research has revealed that certain social, environmental and lifestyle factors can promote systemic chronic inflammation (SCI) that can, in turn, lead to several diseases that collectively represent the leading causes of disability and mortality worldwide, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and autoimmune and neurodegenerative disorders. In the present Perspective we describe the multi-level mechanisms underlying SCI and several risk factors that promote this health-damaging phenotype, including infections, physical inactivity, poor diet, environmental and industrial toxicants and psychological stress. Furthermore, we suggest potential strategies for advancing the early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of SCI.

“Childhood obesity, for instance, is strongly associated with major changes in adipose tissue and metabolic dysfunction that cause metabolism-related-SCI, or so-called metainflammation26”

The Introduction defines metabolic inflammation as metainflammation and says it is initiated in childhood. “Childhood/adolescence” states that evidence is strong that childhood obesity triggers it, while “When does metainflammation begin?” describes adipose-tissue inflammation and metabolic stress in obese children and adolescents, alongside decreased insulin sensitivity.

The “External microbes, perinatal factors, and immune development” section says altered microbial exposure, particularly in early life, predisposes to chronic inflammatory disease and links this idea to the hygiene and old-friends hypotheses. It does not specify inflammation in adulthood or establish that greater exposure to microbes generally is protective. (LLM, conf=0.84)

The Discussion reports negative associations between three measures of microbial exposure in infancy and CRP, a marker of inflammation, in young adulthood. It also says these findings are broadly consistent with the hygiene or ‘old friends’ hypothesis. (LLM, conf=0.92)

“The concomitant increase in the estimated contribution of environmental chemicals to human disease burden162 has prompted a shift toward data generation using high-throughput screening to investigate the effect of industrial toxicants on cellular pathways, which has been supported by initiatives like the US Federal Tox21 Program, and toward the adoption of translational systems-toxicology”

The Abstract says current disease-burden estimates omit many environmental risk factors, including chemical exposures, and the Conclusions say environmental contributions are underestimated. The paper does not show that the estimated share attributable to chemicals has grown. Citation 162 is attached to that burden-estimate claim, not to the subsequent discussion of screening approaches.

The citation is attached to the claim that the estimated contribution of environmental chemicals to human disease burden has increased.

The authors state this as an assumption.
An evolutionary mismatch between human physiology and industrialized lifestyles is a major cause of systemic chronic inflammation.
“This is believed to have created an evolutionary mismatch in humans—characterized by an increasing separation from their ecological niche—and this mismatch, in turn, has been hypothesized to be a major cause of SCI65,66,82,89,92.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Maternal inflammation during pregnancy passes an inflammatory code through epigenetic modifications to offspring, leading to elevated SCI risk in childhood and adulthood and intergenerational transmission of risk.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
