Can CRP Entzündung help with longevity?

CRP (C-reactive protein) is a marker of inflammation measured in blood. Chronically elevated CRP is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease and other age-related conditions, thus indirectly linked to reduced lifespan. However, CRP itself is not a direct target for longevity. Lifestyle interventions (diet, exercise, stress reduction) can lower CRP, but whether lowering CRP specifically extends lifespan is not supported by strong interventional evidence. MyBody-X offers CRP testing in blood or wellness panels, but these are consumer tests, not diagnostic tools. For longevity planning, a broader biomarker panel (e.g., HbA1c, lipids, inflammatory profile) and medical guidance are more appropriate. Evidence: primarily epidemiological and mechanistic; insufficient for direct longevity claims.
