Immunosenescence is an age-related immune dysfunction marked by dysregulation of innate immune pathways, thymic involution, decreased T and B cell numbers and function, altered metabolism, and epigenetic changes. Additionally, older individuals often develop inflammaging, a condition characterized by elevated levels of proinflammatory markers. This deterioration of immune function in older adults significantly impairs viral control and increases disease severity.
