In conclusion, this study confirms that innate immune training can be induced in aging healthy individuals as well as critically ill sepsis patients. We found that innate immune training can be induced regardless of age and there was no substantive difference in the immune trained phenotype as a function of age. We employed β-glucan as our immune training stimulus. The ability of glucan to induce the trained phenotype suggests that it may be possible to pharmacologically induce the immune trained phenotype in aging human immunocytes.
Sitting Time Correlates with Mortality Risk

For more than a decade, researchers have been turning out studies to show that more time spent sitting correlates with a greater risk of mortality. Today's research materials are a recent example of the type, the analysis carried out in a sizable study population. The most obvious cause to suggest is that people who spend more time sedentary also spend less time exercising, and it is the amount of exercise that actually matters. There are studies controlling for exercise level that show that sitting time correlates with mortality independently of exercise level, and there are studies that claim the opposite, that it is all about the degree of exercise rather than the time spent sitting. This is business as usual in the field of epidemiology; one can't take any one study at face value. On any que...
