Inflammaging and the Lung
Open accessAbstract
With the coming of the "silver tsunami," expanding the knowledge about how various intrinsic and extrinsic factors affect the immune system in the elderly is timely and of immediate clinical need. The global population is increasing in age. By the year 2030, more than 20% of the population of the United States will be older than 65 years of age. This article focuses on how advanced age alters the immune systems and how this, in turn, modulates the ability of the aging lung to deal with infectious challenges from the outside world and from within the host.

The aging process brings about a decline in mucociliary clearance and heightened vulnerability to pulmonary infections.
“The aging process brings about notable transformations in the structure and function of the lungs, including a decline in mucociliary clearance and heightened vulnerability to pulmonary infections.168,169”
From Inflammation and aging: signaling pathways and intervention therapies (2023) · cites this paper as [168]
The Introduction (page unavailable) says age-related immune defects leave the host less able to withstand infection, and the Abstract applies this concern to infectious challenges in the aging lung. The copy does not state in its discussion that mucociliary clearance declines; it mentions mucociliary clearance only in a reference title and lists a study of declining small-airway clearance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
