The 15-Year Survival Advantage: Immune Resilience as a Salutogenic Force in Healthy Aging. [PDF]

Aging Cell
Human aging shows puzzling diversity: similar aging rates yet vastly different health outcomes. Our study of ~17,500 people revealed a health‐promoting trait (more common in women) linked to strong immune resilience and high expression of TCF7, a key immune gene. This trait enables individuals to fight infections like COVID‐19 more effectively, respond
