A view of the aging-disease relationship from age 85

Article Abstract:

The aging-disease relationship remains a subject of controversy among gerontologists. Most gerontologists continue to hold on to a separation of the aging-related diseases from biological aging. However, there are four tenets that indicate a continuum between biological and pathological aging. The first is that aging is not genetically programmed. The second is that causes of aging and diseases of the senescent period are similar. The third is that these diseases can also occur in the juvenile and mature periods. The last is that the origin of diseases of the juvenile period are congenital or inherited.

Basal natural killer cell activity of young versus elderly humans

Article Abstract:

The effects of aging on basal anti-tumor NK cytotoxicity in humans are investigated to elucidate the common differences typically encountered in various experimental methods. The results indicate that NK cytotoxicity remains constant and does not change as an individual ages. However, there is no conclusive proof that age-associated changes never take place in NK cells.
