Abstract
In the majority of papers dealing with immune system changes, higher prevalence of autoimmunity and autoimmune diseases among elderly people is stressed as one of the factors confirming the changes of immune system function in aging. This statement is repeated for a very long time and most of the authors treat it as a stone-carved truth. However, we will show below that, as we look into this problem in details, there are not so many diseases which appear in the elderly population more frequent to the younger ones. So, where is the problem and why is that so?
