Abstract

There are multiple factors that contribute to aging. In this second series of Genomics of Aging, decreased immune defenses and the effects of unregulated inflammation on the aging process of cells, and the body as a whole, are reviewed from the perspective of genomics and the microbiome. Healthy lifestyle choices and foods can slow down this aging process, and clinical implications are described here.
