Chronic inflammation and aging are intrinsically linked through the concept of 'inflammageing' [1], with aging processes like visceral fat accumulation and cellular inefficiency directly increasing the risk of chronic inflammation [2]. Furthermore, both factors contribute to systemic energy shortages [3] and are key drivers of age-related physiological decline, such as changes in skeletal muscle [4] and defective JAK-STAT signaling [5].
