The correct answer is the shrinkage of the lymphoid system.
This system has to do with the ability of your body to produce lymphocytes and antibodies, which are extremely necessary for protecting your body from infections and toxins. So, given that the lymphoid system is shrinking, people are more prone to respiratory infections.
