Fortunately, most
older persons that are traveling are in good health. None-the-less, aging is
accompanied by a global immune deficit, which increases the incidence of
cancers (55% of cancers occur after 65 years), auto-immune diseases, and
infectious morbidity and mortality. It is important that older travelers
must be encouraged to present for a pre-travel health consultation and
obtain appropriate travel insurance.
