Trajectories of inflammatory biomarkers over the eighth decade and their associations with immune cell profiles and epigenetic ageing

This cohort study examined the trajectories of inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein and interleukin-6) in individuals aged 70 to 79 and their associations with epigenetic age acceleration. Over time, low-sensitivity CRP decreased, high-sensitivity CRP remained stable, and IL-6 increased. Elevated levels of these biomarkers were associated with higher extrinsic epigenetic age
