High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) serves as a crucial biomarker for assessing chronic inflammation, which is increasingly recognized as a significant factor in longevity. This article explores the relationship between hs-CRP levels, inflammation, and their implications for health and lifespan.
