Abstract

  This is a mini-review addressing the main aspects of immunosenescence, including: predisposition towards infections, inflammation, autoimmunity, cancer, response to vaccines, allergy, stress, nutrition and physical activity. Remarks are made about this complex network of possible alterations relating to aging.

Keywords:Allergy, Autoimmunity; Aging; Immunosenescence; Infection; Neoplasia; Vaccine
