Effect of Symbiotic Supplementation to the Immune Response Ifn-? and Il-2 on Elderly
Keywords:
Elderly, symbiotic, IFN-? and IL-2.Abstract
Along with the increasing age it will have an impact on the emergence of a variety of life issues such as: social, economic, cultural, educational, health primarily because of the function of organs will decrease either due to natural or due to illness. The result will be an increase in the number of elderly people that is one indicator of the success of development as well as challenges in development. If it is not anticipated at this time, it is probable that the development process will encounter a variety of obstacles. Nutritional factors play an important role of the immune response in healthy elderly. One factor is the nutritional functional foods in this case is symbiotic. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of supplementation on the immune response symbiotic with marker IFN-? and IL-2 in elderly patients. This research is a study pre-experiment in the treatment group were given supplementation symbiotic. We then measured IFN-? and IL-2 in this group. Analysis of normality and homogeneity test for determining the parametric or non-parametric statistics with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Furthermore, if eligible, the parametric analysis used in this research is to use before after t test to see the effects of the intervention. The results showed that supplementation symbiotic effect on the increase in the levels of IL-2, but not significantly to the increase in IFN-?. Based on the results of the study are advised to consume as food symbiotic functional in order to maintain the immune system of the elderly.
