Aging leads to changes in the immune system, resulting in inflammaging, which increases the risk of malnutrition and frailty, especially in the context of COVID-19. Evaluating nutritional risk and frailty is crucial in monitoring older adults during the pandemic, while exploring potential compounds to manage inflammaging can help reduce the inflammatory status and ensure appropriate care.
As humans age, their immune system undergoes modifications, including a low-grade inflammatory status called inflammaging. These changes are associated with a loss of physical and immune resilience, amplifying the risk of being malnourished and frail. Under the COVID-19 scenario, inflammaging increases the susceptibility to poor prognostics. We aimed to bring the current concepts of inflammaging and its relationship with frailty and COVID-19 prognostic; highlight the importance of evaluating the nutritional risk together with frailty aiming to monitor older adults in COVID-19 scenario; explore some compounds with potential to modulate inflammaging in perspective to manage the COVID-19 infection. Substances such as probiotics and senolytics can help reduce the high inflammatory status. Also, the periodic evaluation of nutrition risk and frailty will allow interventions, assuring the appropriate care.
