Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Gerontology and Geriatrics publishes research on aging, with a focus on the health and well-being of older adults. Recent articles explore the prevalence and associations of frailty with conditions such as obesity, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and cardiovascular diseases. The journal also investigates the impact of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart failure on aging, as well as the role of neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia and their effect on caregivers. Additionally, research examines interventions like exercise and rehabilitation programs to improve functional outcomes and cognitive health in older populations, including those with dementia.
