Infectious diseases and aging present significant challenges as the immune system naturally weakens with age, increasing the risk of both acquiring and suffering from infections. Older individuals often experience prolonged recovery times, and infections can lead to more severe complications, such as pneumonia, sepsis, and hospitalizations. In the field of infectious diseases and aging, it is essential to understand how age-related immune dysfunction interacts with various pathogens, leading to greater morbidity and mortality in older adults. Strategies such as vaccination, routine screenings, and personalized care plans are crucial in preventing infections and managing the health of the aging population more effectively.
