Study Suggests Immune System Ages in Two Big Bursts
Original: Your Immune System Ages in Two Big Bursts https://nautil.us/your-immune-system-ages-in-two-big-bursts-1285487/ # Science
New research indicates the human immune system does not decline gradually with age but instead shifts in two distinct waves, around ages 40 and 65. Scientists link these transitions to changes in immune cell composition that may affect susceptibility to disease as people get older. The findings are drawing attention as they could reshape thinking on healthy aging, disease risk and the timing of preventive care.
Why now: The finding that immune aging happens in sudden waves rather than slowly is a striking new take on aging research.
