With age, immunologic function changes substantially, resulting in impaired responses to pathogens or vaccines. As a result, older adults are at increased risk for morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases and impaired responses to vaccination 1. Clearly, nonimmunologic factors also contribute to these adverse outcomes; for example, age-related changes in chest wall mechanics and lung elasticity may affect respiratory mechanics and medications may affect cough—all potential contributors to respiratory infection risk 2. However, it is evident that immunologic changes influence host defense against infection. The aging immune system is characterized by a variety of alterations that encompass developmental impairment, diminished signaling and the effects of antigen exposure history on chronic inflammation and antigen receptor repertoire diversity—all of which contribute to defects in immune activation in response to pathogens or vaccines. However, the aged innate immune system also shows substantial inflammatory dysregulation with a paradoxical heightened pro-inflammatory environment; this may arise in part from endogenous stimuli linked to cellular damage. Here we provide an overview of age-related changes in human host defense, with an emphasis on consequences for outcomes to pathogens or vaccines in older adults.
