From the reviews: "This book explores the aging process of the immune system. ... researchers in immunology and clinicians working with the elderly will benefit the most from this book. ... This book addresses an important subject, in light of the growing number of elderly individuals in the population and covers a wide variety of topics, integrating biological and psychosocial factors."
