How Age Affects the Immune System
Aging is a natural part of life. As we get older, we start to change physically and may not feel like we did when we were younger. There are also many inward signs of aging that are not always easy to detect. Your immune system can take a hit and can stop functioning properly. As we get older, it is important to give your immune system the extra support it needs.
The immune system is designed to distinguish what belongs to the body and what is a foreign invader to trigger an immune response. It involves a complex array of cells, molecules and organs that work together to defend the body.
Age and the Immune System
Immunity, the body’s defense against foreign invaders, changes throughout life. Here is a closer look at how your immune system changes at different times in your life.
Your immune system starts functioning as soon as you are born, but an infant’s immune system is not yet fully developed. Instead, their body uses antibodies they get from their mothers through the placenta or breast milk until their immune system fully develops. Because their immune system is not fully developed, they often get sick, and it is important to keep newborns away from high exposure areas. In fact, your immune system is not fully developed until you are about eight years old and is at its peak during puberty.
As you grow older, your immune system becomes weaker and less effective for the following reasons:
- The immune system becomes less effective in distinguishing between its own self and non-self. The immune system starts to compromise itself instead of countering foreign substances in the body.
- As we age, we lose white blood cells that can respond to new antigens when the body is exposed to invaders. Less white blood cells in the body means that your body is not able to support the immune system as well as it did when you were younger.
- The immune system will be slower to react to foreign invaders which can lead to a plethora of health concerns and longer recovery time.
- Macrophages that help weaken and eliminate foreign cells that enter the body become less effective in old age.
