Immunological aspects of aging and malnutrition: consequences and intervention with nutritional immunomodulators.

Abstract:

:As knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms of development and aging is elucidated, the need to understand the relationships among tissues, organ systems, health habits, nutrition, physical activity, and environmental factors on successful aging becomes more explicit. Progress in our understanding of how the immune system functions and responds with other factors, such as aging and nutrition, is spawning significant inroads to achieving a successful old age.
