Inflammaging and immunosenescence, the possible response to the severity of COVID-19 in older people. Narrative Review
SARS-CoV-2 infection varies widely with age, generally being more severe in older adults. In many of these patients, a cytokine storm syndrome can be triggered, characterized by a systemic elevation of several pro-inflammatory cytokines, which could induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS),...
