The Role of CD8 T Cells in Longevity

Having a higher number of CD8 T cells is a strong predictor of longevity. These immune cells play a vital role in protecting the body against infections and diseases, and their levels can indicate overall immune health. As individuals age, chronic inflammation and immune decline can reduce the production of these cells, leading to increased vulnerability. Strategies to boost CD8 T cell production, especially naive CD8 T cells, may help mitigate immune aging and improve health outcomes.
