The two theories; non-adaptive, and adaptive, are used to explain the evolution of senescence, which is the decline in reproduction with age. [8] The non-adaptive theory assumes that the evolutionary deterioration of human age occurs as a result of accumulation of deleterious mutations in the germline. [8]
Telomere dysfunction during cellular aging (a state in which cells do not divide but are metabolically active) affects the health of the body. [2] Preventing telomere shortening without clearing old cells may lead to the accumulation of these cells in the body and contribute to age-related diseases and tissue dysfunction.
When your immune system tires out, disease risk goes up. But there are ways to keep your immunity young and strong. Chronic Stress May Speed Up Immune System Aging, Study Suggests
Not only does p16 play an important role in aging, but also in auto-immune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis that progressively lead to mobility impairment in advanced disease. [ 42 ] In the nervous system, senescence has been described in astrocytes and microglia, but is less understood in neurons. [ 22 ]

Immunosenescence is the gradual deterioration of the immune system, brought on by natural age advancement. A 2020 review concluded that the adaptive immune system is affected more than the innate immune system. [1] Immunosenescence involves both the host's capacity to respond to infections and the development of long-term immune memory.
The impairment of cell-mediated acquired immunity is also a factor resulting in the immune system due to chronic stress. [ 5 ] The R package pscore [ 17 ] provides functions for simplified and automated calculation and statistical evaluation of physiological components of the metabolic syndrome symptom score (MSSS) and allostatic load.
