Considering the present scenario of COVID-19, the effects of this viral infection on individuals older than 65 years are also discussed.

Readers go through the changes occurring in organs and tissues that can interfere with susceptibility to infections, low response to vaccines, cancer, and loss of cognition during the aging process.
A discussion of the central role played by the immune system in the age-related diseases and how the immunity can be impaired during the ageing process is presented.
