How Can We Mitigate the Effects of Immunosenescence?
Several strategies can help mitigate the effects of immunosenescence, including:
1. Vaccination: Ensuring older adults receive recommended vaccines, like influenza, pneumococcal, and shingles vaccines, can reduce disease burden. 2. Healthy Lifestyle: Regular physical activity, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking can help maintain immune function. 3. Pharmacological Interventions: Research into drugs and supplements that may boost immune function in older adults is ongoing. 4. Preventive Healthcare: Regular health check-ups and early detection of diseases can improve management and outcomes.
