The decline in immune function that goes along with aging is called immunosenescence.

IRP and low - grade inflammation predicted 57 % of observed deaths and 97 % of survival over 2 years, and was not significantly affected by individuals» health status, suggesting that the physiological ageing processes of T - cell immunosenescence and low - grade inflammation are of primary importance in late life survival.

Finally, that the onset of Alzheimer's disease coincides with immunosenescence, indicates that the immune system is constantly disposing of toxic oligomers while leaving plaque untouched, until due to its decline with age, the immune system is unable to remove those oligomers and the disease appears.
