Immunosenescence, the age-related decline in immune function, is a complex biological process with profound implications for health and longevity. This phenomenon, characterized by alterations both innate adaptive immunity, increases susceptibility to infections, reduces vaccine efficacy, contributes development of diseases. At cellular level, immunosenescence manifests as decreased production naive T B cells, accumulation memory senescent thymic involution, dysregulated cytokine production. Recent advances molecular biology have shed light on underlying mechanisms immunosenescence, including telomere attrition, epigenetic alterations, mitochondrial dysfunction, changes key signaling pathways such NF-κB mTOR. These lead functional impairments various cell types, altering their proliferative capacity, differentiation, effector functions. Emerging research suggests that lifestyle factors may modulate rate extent at levels. Physical activity, nutrition, stress management, sleep patterns been shown influence inflammatory markers, oxidative older adults. review provides comprehensive analysis explores how interventions impact these processes. We will examine current understanding genomic, epigenomic, proteomic levels, discuss can potentially mitigate or partially reverse aspects aging. By integrating recent findings from immunology, gerontology, biology, we aim elucidate intricate interplay between aging informing future strategies maintaining competence populations.
