This phenomenon has attracted both researchers and clinicians, prompting profound questions about its implications for health and disease. Among the contributing factors, one intriguing actor in this complex interplay is human cytomegalovirus (CMV), a member of the herpesvirus family. Latent CMV infection exerts a profound influence on the aging immune system, potentially contributing to age-related diseases. This review delves into the intricate relationship between immunosenescence and CMV, revealing how chronic viral infection impacts the aging immune landscape. We explore the mechanisms through which CMV can impact both the composition and functionality of immune cell populations and induce shifts in inflammatory profiles with aging. Moreover, we examine the potential role of CMV in pathologies such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, COVID-19, and Long COVID. This review underlines the importance of understanding the complex interplay between immunosenescence and CMV. It offers insights into the pathophysiology of aging and age-associated diseases, as well as COVID-19 outcomes among the elderly. By unraveling the connections between immunosenescence and CMV, we gain a deeper understanding of aging\u2019s remarkable journey and the profound role that viral infections play in transforming the human immune system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25020753","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]],"date-time":"2024-01-08T07:59:20Z","timestamp":1704700760000},"page":"753","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":82,"title":["Immunosenescence and Cytomegalovirus: Exploring Their Connection in the Context of Aging, Health, and Disease"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Ludmila","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Svetlana","family":"Di Benedetto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Lentzeallee 94, 14195 Berlin, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4","DOI":"10.1016\/j.exger.2017.10.024","article-title":"Age and immunity: What is \u201cimmunosenescence\u201d?","volume":"105","author":"Pawelec","year":"2018","journal-title":"Exp.
