The journal is a forum for the dissemination and integration of knowledge. Subjects covered include epidemiology, gerontology, physiology, sociological aspects of ageing, psychology, clinical trials, service delivery, pharmacology and hospital as well as community care. We aim to publish well-written clinical and scientific research reports of the highest quality, which are original and relevant.
Clinical trials are welcome.
We also publish papers reporting negative results and meta-analyses. We are pleased to receive authoritative reviews and commentaries, which might be critical or constructive, selected case reports, letters, teaching points and other special pieces. As well as presenting articles on the science, art and craft of gerontology and geriatric medicine, Age and Ageing wishes to stimulate, entertain and inform by including photographs of older people and age-related topics, aphorisms, poems and prose. Similarly, the article should not be under consideration by another journal. All authors must give signed consent to publication.
