Low-grade inflammation is a phenomenon that has increasingly gained attention in health and wellness discussions in recent years. It is a stealthy condition that can easily go unnoticed without blood tests. In this article, we explain what low-grade inflammation is, how it can be identified, and most importantly, how it can be prevented.
Low-grade inflammation is a silent and long-term inflammatory state in the body that often develops gradually and unnoticed. It usually does not manifest in daily life but, over time, can increase the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s disease. Low-grade inflammation is not a disease itself, but it is a sign of an imbalance in the body that can impair health in the long run. Detecting and managing it is crucial to prevent the development of more serious illnesses.
Low-grade or silent inflammation, as the name suggests, is silent and often completely asymptomatic, making it challenging to detect without blood tests. However, there are some indirect signs and assessment methods that may indicate the possibility of inflammation:
Inflammation in the body is assessed using a high-sensitivity CRP (C-reactive protein) test. High-sensitivity CRP indicates low-grade inflammation when there is no other acute infection or inflammation in the body. This test is particularly useful for detecting silent inflammation in individuals with other risk factors, such as abdominal obesity, or a family history of cardiovascular diseases or diabetes. High-sensitivity CRP measurement is included in, for example, the Puhti laboratory package.
It is possible to effectively influence silent inflammation in the body by making changes to your lifestyle. Below are our tips for anti-inflammatory habits:
