In just over five years I will turn 60, which is a daunting prospect. I already have one age-related disease \u2013 hypertension \u2013 and, given the odds, will be lucky not to have been diagnosed with at least one more by then. After that, age-related conditions are likely to pile up until the inevitable end. It will be a similar story, no doubt, for many of you. We are living longer than before, but those extra years aren\u2019t necessarily healthy ones.<\/p>\n

Yet if recent developments are anything to go by, my sons may be luckier. Rather than face a laundry list of common ailments in their 70s and 80s, they may be able to immunise themselves against them. They could celebrate middle age with a vaccination that will make them immune to Alzheimer\u2019s, cancer or hypertension. They might even get an anti-ageing panacea that will vaccinate them against all of the above and more, helping them face their later years in a healthier state than most of us can hope for today.<\/p>\n

In the battle against the diseases of old age, an age-old medical technology suddenly looks like a game changer. Vaccines, the injections that we most commonly associate with infectious diseases such as covid-19 and measles, are now showing promise in treating non-infectious diseases \u2013 particularly those associated with advancing years. So rapidly is this field progressing that, given a fair wind, there are hints that I \u2013 and others my age \u2013 may even benefit from some of these vaccinations ourselves. It sounds too\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
