Summary

This study looks at how immune cells in the blood change as we get older and how they cause inflammation. Researchers will compare healthy young adults (18-35) with healthy older adults (65+) to understand this process. The goal is to find new ways to reduce age-related inflammation in the future. Participants will have blood tests, an oral glucose test, and leg strength measurements over one month.
