Abstract
Changes in immune system have crucial role in the process of organism’s ageing. Immune senescence is closely linked to age-associated diseases, such as chronic diseases and cancer. Revealing influence of impact factors on immune senescence has theoretical and practical importance. There are different pattern of immune senescence under different environmental conditions. Therefore, it is important to study it in populations that live under different geoclimatic conditions and belonging to different ethnic groups.
The 250 health volunteers from Georgia’s population were investigated. We studied percentage of lymphocytes subsets in the peripheral blood and evaluated influence of age, sex and anthropomorphic parameters on them.
Lymphocytes quantitative data fluctuated in different periods of age. No significant relation was revealed between percentage content of lymphocytes’ subsets and anthropomorphic parameters.
