Physiological Basis of Immune Function Among Geriatric Population and Nutrition: A Narrative Review

The gradual decline of immune function associated with ageing is termed immunosenescence. This review explores the geriatric physiological change in immune system dynamics. Innate immunity changes due to ageing include reduced chemotaxis, phagocytosis, impaired neutrophil extracellular trap formatio...
