Now Accepting Clinical Trials
Age and Ageing is pleased to announce a new, relaxed word-limit, category for Clinical Trials, to support our ongoing goal of improving healthcare for older people through dissemination of clinical research.
Supplement Issue: Measurement of Healthy Ageing
Introducing the newest issue of Age and Ageing, a special supplement produced in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO).
Syncope in older adults
Syncope can have devastating consequences, resulting in fall-related injuries, accidents or even death. In our ageing society, the subsequent healthcare usage, such as emergency room presentations, surgeries and hospital admissions, form a significant and growing socioeconomic burden.
Hearing Conditions
Hearing conditions such as hearing loss, tinnitus and hyperacusis are highly prevalent in the population and can severely impact communication and quality of life.
Evidence Synthesis for Older Adults
Age and Ageing recognises the value of evidence synthesis and is a strong supporter of this method. In this collection, we have selected evidence synthesis papers published in the journal in the last few years.
Dhole-Eddlestone Memorial Prize
The 2024 Prize has been awarded to Normative values for grip strength, gait speed, timed up and go, single leg balance, and chair rise derived from the Canadian longitudinal study on ageing.
The prize is given annually to the most deserving medical research relating to the needs of older people in Age and Ageing. Submit today to be in with a chance of winning the 2025 award.
Ageing Meets Kidney Disease collection
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a bidirectional link with ageing, but remains an unrecognized condition: the ERA journals have joined forces with Age and Ageing to increase awareness of CKD in older adults.
Care Home Collection
Care homes are a pivotal part of health and social care for older people. This collection shows how Age and Ageing is helping shape care home research, and is advocating for a more resident-centred research agenda.
