Abstract
Penuaan (aging) dikaitkan dengan sejumlah besar perubahan fungsi imunitas tubuh, terutama penurunan Cell Mediated Immunity (CMI) atau imunitas yang diperantarai sel. Kemampuan imunitas kelompok lanjut usia menurun sesuai peningkatan usia termasuk kecepatan respons imun melawan infeksi penyakit. Hal itu berarti bahwa kelompok lansia beresiko tinggi terserang penyakit seperti infeksi, kanker, jantung koroner, kelainan autoimmun atau penyakit kronik lainnya. Seluruh penyakit ini mudah terjadi pada lansia karena produksi imunoglobulin menurun. Akibatnya vaksinasi yang diberikan pada kelompok orang tua seringkali tidak efektif melawan penyakit. Orang-orang tua yang umumnya menderita kekurangan gizi makro dan mikro akan memiliki respons sistem dan fungsi imun yang rendah. Oleh karena itu, kasus malnutrisi pada lansia seharusnya memiliki perhatian khusus secara dini, termasuk pemberian vaksinasi untuk pencegahan penyakit. Penyakit infeksi yang dialami oleh lansia dapat dicegah atau diturunkan melalui upaya-upaya perbaikan gizi karena sistem imun akan meningkat. Jika fungsi imun lansia dapat ditingkatkan, maka kualitas hidup individu meningkat dan biaya pelayanan kesehatan dapat ditekan.
Low Immunity Response in the Elderly. Aging is related to a number of changes in the immunity function, mainly the reducing of Cell Mediated Immunity (CMI). The immunocompetence of elderly worsen with age including the rate of immune respons against infection. It means that older people have a high risk of getting diseases such as infection, cancer, cardiovascular, autoimmune disorder, or other chronic diseases. All of these diseases occured in elderly due to the immunoglobulin production decrease. Thus, vaccination given to elderly often might not be effective against diseases. Older people who commonly suffer from a decrease of macro and micronutrients will have a low function and response of the immune system. Therefore, malnutrition cases in elderly should have early specific attention including consideration in given vaccination for preventing diseases. Infectious diseases mostly suffered by older people can be prevented or reduced through improving nutrition efforts because the immune system will be improved. If the immune function of the elderly can be improved, the individual quality of life increases and the health cost can be suppressed.
