Abstract:
Chronic inflammatory response syndrome(CIRS)is a chronic, low-grade, systemic inflammatory response, resulting from sustained long-term stimulation of the innate immune system.CIRS is not only associated with certain chronic diseases, but also associated with aging, the development and progression of a variety of diseases in the elderly, and functional decline.Additionally, it is closely related to adverse clinical outcomes and is not uncommon in the elderly.Here we review the characteristics of CIRS and their clinical implications and consider whether CIRS can be classified as a geriatric syndrome, in order to identify new targets for the prevention and treatment of diseases and functional decline in the elderly.
