ABSTRACT
Aging, metabolism, and immunity have long been considered distinct domains. Aging is primarily associated with the gradual decline of physiological functions, metabolism regulates energy production and maintains cellular processes, and the immune system manages innate and adaptive responses against pathogens and vaccines. However, recent studies have revealed that these three systems are intricately interconnected, collectively influencing an individual’s response to stress and disease. This review explores the interplay between immunometabolism, T follicular helper cells, B cells, and aging, focusing on how these interactions impact immune function in the elderly.
