The population in the Western world is aging. In 1996 those aged 60 years and over formed 21% of the EU population, by 2022 this proportion will have risen to 27%. Based on current trends a third of the EU population could be 60 years of age and over by the age 2050.Epidemiological studies suggest that even in the absence of other risk factors (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia), advanced age itself significantly increases cardiovascular morbidity by promoting the development of atherosclerosis and by impairing normal cellular functions. One of the most prominent organs affected by aging is the kidney. There is evidence that age-associated phenotypic changes may be an important cause of renal failure. We propose that vascular oxidative stress and inflammation are generalized phenomena during senescence, which importantly contribute to the morphological and functional changes in the aging kidney. The present review focuses on some of the mechanisms by which advanced age may promote vascular oxidative and nitrosative stress and the possible downstream mechanisms by which reactive oxygen and nitrogen species may impair vascular and renal function in aging.

The sharp increase of life expectancy and the increasing ratio of ageing population pose new challenges for the public health system. The elderly suffer from more frequent and severe infections than young people. Theoretically, vaccination could protect the elderly against several infectious diseases, but due to their age-related immune impairment, vaccination might fail in many cases. Instead of ineffective vaccination campaigns, exploration and restoration of age-dependent dysregulation of their immune functions have to be placed into the focus of recent research. Frequent comorbidities in these people augment immune defects. Immunosenescence affects both the innate and adaptive immunity. Disturbances in macrophage-derived cytokine release and reduction of the natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity lead to increased frequency of respiratory, gastrointestinal and skin infections. Although the humoral immunity retains most of its original activity through life span, ageing dampens the ability of B cells to produce antibodies against novel antigens. Age-related declination of the cellular immunity is the consequence of thymic atrophy, reduced output of new T lymphocytes, accumulation of anergic memory cells, deficiencies in the cytokine production and uncertain antigen presentation. Persistent infection by different herpesviruses and other parasites contribute to the loss of immunosurveillance and premature exhaustion of T cells.
