Geriatrics and Gerontology

In view of the ever-increasing percentage of older adults, understanding the mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases has become a matter of urgent necessity.

Gerontology, the oldest journal in the field, provides a primary source of high-quality papers covering all aspects of aging in humans and animals. It serves as an ideal information tool for all readers interested in the topic of aging addressed from a broad perspective.

The book series Interdisciplinary Topics in Gerontology and Geriatrics presents a comprehensive and integrated approach to the problems of aging and serves as a forum for a unified concept of gerontology. The individual volumes within the series give an overall view of the aging process, novel ideas, and original approaches to healthy aging as well as age-related functional decline.

The interdisciplinary subject field of Gerontology and Geriatrics at Karger is strongly connected with other publications in our portfolio such as the journals Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders and Neurodegenerative Diseases.
