Chronic inflammation has been linked to the onset and progression of various non-communicable diseases, such as cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular, auto-immune and neurodegenerative diseases.

These diseases are the leading cause of disability and mortality worldwide.

Unlike acute inflammation, chronic inflammation often goes undetected until it is too late. It can wage a slow and subtle war on the body for years before disease manifests.

Managing chronic inflammation and inflammatory risk factors is an important line of defense in the fight against non-communicable diseases.
