Foreword

Article Abstract:

A number of advances in the field of immunogerontology have been made in the past 10 years. These developments have allowed gerontologists to examine changes in the immune system which are linked with age, both at the subcellular and molecular levels. Much progress has also been achieved in the area of nutrition and immune function. These have brought the realization that the normal functioning of the immune system is hinged on proper nutrition.

A diet of fruits and vegetables and low-fat dairy products incorporates these nutrients. Calcium may also have some protective effect. This diet offers fewer calories, since being overweight is one risk factor for hypertension and stroke.
