Cohort studies consistently show that a high intake of cereal fiber and whole-grain products is associated with a decreased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. Similar findings are also reported for infectious and chronic inflammatory disorders. All these disorders are at least partially caused by inflammaging, a chronic state of inflammation associated with aging and Metabolic Syndrome.

Importance: VEXAS syndrome (vacuoles, E1 enzyme, X-linked, autoinflammatory, somatic) is a monogenic disease caused by UBA1 somatic variants in hematopoietic progenitor cells, mostly involving adult men. It is associated with inflammatory-related symptoms, frequently involving the skin and hematological disorders.

Neutrophilic dermatosis of the dorsal hands (NDDH) is a localized variant of Sweet syndrome, a neutrophilic dermatosis commonly associated with underlying malignancy or systemic inflammatory disorders. NDDH can be mistaken for infection due to its rarity, clinical appearance, and common association with elevated inflammatory markers. A high index of suspicion for this diagnosis should be maintained with symmetrical hand lesions, as approximately 78% of patients with NDDH have bilateral disease.

The sensory system detects the internal and external environment of the body and the stimulus trigger feedback loops toward the set point to maintain homeostasis, but if taste sensitivity has changed, we may consume more nutrients or loss of appetite. These can lead metabolic syndrome or malnutrition, which can lead to frailty. In this review, we examined which of the five basic tastes (sweet, umami, bitter, sour, and salty) is affected by aging.
