Ageing of the global population has become a public health concern with an
important socio-economic dimension. Ageing is characterized by an increase in the
concentration of inflammatory markers in the bloodstream, a phenomenon that has
been termed « inflammageing ». The inflammatory response is beneficial as an acute,
transient reaction to harmful conditions, facilitating the defense, repair,
turnover and adaptation of many tissues. However, chronic and low grade
inflammation is likely to be detrimental for many tissues and for normal
functions. We provide an overview of low grade inflammation (LGI) and determine
the potential drivers and the effects of the « inflamed » phenotype observed in the
elderly. We discuss the role of gut microbiota and immune system crosstalk and
the gut-brain axis. Then, we focus on major health complications associated with
LGI in the elderly, including mental health and wellbeing, metabolic
abnormalities and infections. Finally, we discuss the possibility of manipulating
LGI in the elderly by nutritional interventions. We provide an overview of the
evidence that exists in the elderly for omega-3 fatty acid, probiotic, prebiotic,
antioxidant and polyphenol interventions as a means to influence LGI. We conclude
that slowing, controlling or reversing LGI is likely to be an important way to
prevent, or reduce the severity of, age-related functional decline and the onset
of conditions affecting health and well-being; that there is evidence to support
specific dietary interventions as a strategy to control LGI; and that a continued
research focus on this field is warranted.
