Title
Micronutrient intake and the risk of herpes zoster: a case-control study.
Authors
Thomas, Sara L; Wheeler, Jeremy G; Hall, Andrew J
Abstract
Herpes zoster can seriously impair quality of life and may also be a marker for age-related immune decline (immunosenescence). Diets low in micronutrients may increase the risk of zoster by temporarily compromising cell-mediated immune function or by hastening immunosenescence.
