Abstract
Aging is associated with declines in both adaptive and innate immunity, contributing to chronic low-level inflammation.
- Elderly individuals commonly experience higher infection rates and chronic diseases.
- Immunosenescence reflects age-related changes in immune function.
- Understanding alterations in the immune system during aging may help identify biomarkers for immune senescence treatment.
- The immune system's effectiveness is influenced by the interaction between innate and adaptive immunity, which is affected by aging.
