Aging is characterized by a chronic low-grade inflammation that has been found to be related to mortality risk in older persons. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) protein levels predict all-cause mortality in a sample of older persons living in the community. Data are from the Aging and Longevity Study in the Sirente Geographic Area (ilSIRENTE Study), a prospective cohort study that collected information on individuals aged 80 years and older living in an Italian mountain community (n=362). The main outcome was the hazard ratio of death after four years of follow-up. Participants were classified according to the median value of the 3 inflammatory markers (IL-6: 2.08 pg/mL; TNF-α: 1.43 pg/mL and CRP: 3.08 mg/L). In addition, a composite summary score of inflammation was created. A total of 150 deaths occurred during a 4-year follow-up. In the unadjusted model, high levels of each of the 3 markers were associated with increased mortality. After adjusting for potential confounders, high levels of IL-6 and CRP were associated with a significantly increased risk of death (HR, 2.18; 95% CI 1.29–3.69 and 2.58; 95% CI 1.52–4.40, respectively); whereas the association between TNF-α protein levels and mortality lost significance (1.26; 95% CI: 0.74 to 2.15). The composite summary score of inflammation was strongly associated with mortality, with the highest risk estimated for individuals with all three inflammatory markers above the median. Low levels of inflammatory markers are associated with better survival in elderly, independently of age and other clinical and functional variables.
