Abstract

The article cites a study on the implications of aged-related immunological and endocrinological changes for resilience to stress in older adults. It also discusses the role of exercise in ameliorating the deleterious effects of stress on the immune system in older adults. The authors propose that exercise may be an effective intervention to limit the impact of stress on immunity in chronically stressed older people.
