title: [Activity of NK in elderly people].
abstract: Optimally healthy elderly persons, selected according to Senior Protocol criteria, aged 60-93 years were characterized by as high level of NK activity as their young adult, 20-35 years old, counterparts. NK activity of the nearly optimally healthy elderly persons of the corresponding age was significantly lower than that of optimally healthy ones. The lowest values of NK activity were noted for the elderly persons suffering from recurring infections of the respiratory tract.
