Aims & Scope

Der Tatsache, dass immer mehr Menschen immer älter werden und das unsere Gesellschaft entscheidend mitprägt, trägt die Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie schon seit vielen Jahren Rechnung, indem sie mit ihrem breiten Themenspektrum den interessierten Leser über zentrale Entwicklungen in den Alternswissenschaften informiert. Ergebnisse der gerontologischen und geriatrischen Forschung sowie daraus abgeleitete Interventionen, Behandlungsansätze und konzeptionelle Entwicklungen werden in Originalbeiträgen publiziert. Themenbezogene Hefte behandeln ausführlich und interdisziplinär relevante Fragen der Gerontologie in all ihren Facetten: biologischen, geriatrischen, psychologischen, soziologischen, pädagogischen, sozialarbeiterischen und pflegerischen.
