IgG antibodies are part of the adaptive immune system and reflect past exposure to pathogens or foods. In the context of longevity, IgG is sometimes discussed as a biomarker for chronic inflammation or 'immune aging'. However, the evidence is weak: elevated food-specific IgG (especially IgG4) often indicates immune tolerance, not intolerance. Studies linking IgG levels to lifespan are scarce and mostly associative. Routine IgG testing for anti-aging purposes is not supported by major medical guidelines. Better-established longevity markers include CRP, IL-6, and HbA1c. Be cautious of commercial IgG tests that may lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions. A balanced diet, regular exercise, and stress reduction have far stronger evidence for promoting longevity than IgG monitoring.
