Reactive gastropathy

Steatohepatitis is another example of this; it is not a process with significant inflammation yet, confusingly, carries the -itis ending.

Sedentary lifestyle

A review in Nature Reviews Cardiology suggests that since illness or injury are associated with prolonged periods of enforced rest, such sedentariness has physiologically become linked to life-preserving metabolic and stress related responses such as inflammation that aid recovery during illness and injury but which due to being nonadaptive during health now lead to chronic diseases.
