Pure selenium deficiency, without concurrent vitamin E deficiency, is not generally seen except in animals on experimental diets (113). In China, selenium deficiency in humans has been associated with Keshan disease, a cardiomyopathy seen in children and in women of child-bearing ages, and Kashin-Beck disease, an endemic osteoarthritis in adolescents (113). 

Vaccines are used in either the general population of children or adults or for special groups. Recommendations for vaccine usage are made by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control. The Committee on Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Redbook Committee) also makes recommendations for infants through adolescents, and the American Academy of Family Physicians makes recommendations for adults. An excellent review of vaccine history, development, usage, and related regulatory issues is available (2).

SWS/SWA, in particular, may play an important role in somatic and cognitive restoration, including the consolidation of certain forms of procedural and declarative memory. A substantial diminution in the amount of SWS/SWA occurs across the human lifespan. This decline is beginning already in adolescence and middle-aged adults have only 25% of the SWS observed in young adults, whereas the elderly have almost none. While the clinical importance of these phenomena is unknown, it is reasonable to speculate that they may be related to the increase of sleep complaints associated with aging.
