The development of modern medicine leads to the extension of the average life span, which realized a society composed largely of elderly people in Japan. However, the health problem in the aged remains to be solved. Especially, the increased incidence of infectious diseases in the aged is still seen even in the present Japan, one of the most developed countries in the world. This manuscript describes the relationship between nutrition and the increased incidence of infectious diseases in the aged and discusses that the nutritional state in the aged is closely related to the marked decrease of their immune functions. In conclusion, the improvement of nutritional status is very important for the aged to keep their immune functions and prevent infectious diseases such as pneumonia and influenza.
