In conclusion, we have demonstrated that healthy ageing of nonagenarians was associated with high activity of the NK cells that was related to the oxidative-inflammatory status.
Measurements of the serum indices of the oxidative state, levels of proinflammatory cytokines and NK cell activity may prove useful data to assess successful ageing.

DISCUSSION :
Ageing is accompanied by the alterations of both adaptive and innate immunity. The increase of serum levels of IL-6, TNF-a and other inflammatory mediators results in a state of a chronic low-grade inflammation.
