Abstract

Parainflammation also known as Low Grade Chronic Inflammation (LGCI) is a subclinical condition that is not routinely diagnosed especially in apparently healthy persons. The present review describes the parainflammatory theory of diseases a major risk factor to the emergence and re-emergence of diseases. We therefore recommend routine diagnostic tests, life style and dietary changes to limit the occurrence of parainflammation in apparently healthy persons as a preventive measure to combating the emergence and re-emergence of diseases.
