Excellent point, also another quote below. I know the immune system declines with age, but part of the age correlation could be to that as well. As with other high risk "inflammatory" creating activities. If the proves to be the factor, maybe BP could develop a predictive test as well.

Plasma levels of CCL5 increases as a function of age and “inflammaging,”35 therefore it is not surprising to find this chemokine increased in aged individuals and in patients with GA, whom we have previously found to have accelerated immunological aging and chronic inflammation.
