During late adulthood, the risk of developing diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer continues to rise. Most people also have a decline in strength and stamina. Their senses may start failing, and their reflex time typically increases. Their immune system also doesn’t work as well as it used to. As a result, common diseases like the flu may become more serious and even lead to death. The majority of late adults develop arthritis, and as many as one in four develop Alzheimer’s disease.
Consider the following text:
Michael and his grandfather used to play basketball all the time when Michael was younger. Michael is now much older and his grandfather just cant seem to keep up with him at all anymore. Eventually Michael's Grandfather who is now in his 60's decides to stop playing basketball altogether.

Given Michael's Grandfather gets sick with the flu, is this more or less dangerous compared to if Michael got the flu?
