The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.
one thing that happens we know this happens is that you tend to see an increased level of microbial proteins and DNA in the circulatory system with age that causes a inflammatory response that may contribute to the sort of systemic increase in inflammation that we see during aging
Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
so the loss of intestinal barrier function may actually drive to some extent the inflammation the increase in inflammation with aging or at least contribute to and so anything that you can do that is going to improve that will potentially have an effect on systemic inflammation
but I do believe that this decline in intestinal barrier function with age probably is contributing to this sort of increase in systemic inflammation that we see during aging and there it's very clear that that happens in people and in non-human primates as well during aging
