Immune aging frames a scientific review connecting age-related immune changes to degenerative bone and joint disease mechanisms, inviting readers curious about biological links.

Immune Aging as a Shared Cause of Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis
Key Takeaways
  • Immune aging and inflammaging are proposed as common pathological drivers of both osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.
  • Senescent cells contribute to immune aging while impaired immunity reduces clearance of these cells.
  • Immune metabolic reprogramming of glycolysis, oxidative phosphorylation, and NAD+ pathways is implicated in OP-OA pathology.
