Overview

The National Institute on Aging is a U.S. federal research institute that supports scientific studies on aging and age-related conditions, serving as a major funding source and research coordinator in gerontology. Research published in Aging Research And Healthcare addresses multiple dimensions of aging that align with priorities in this field, including nutritional assessment and dietary status among older populations in diverse settings such as rural India and long-term care facilities. The journal has featured studies examining cognitive and physical interventions, including combined aerobic and cognitive training effects on working memory and executive function in aging adults. Healthcare access barriers and facilitators for elderly populations have been investigated from health system perspectives in resource-limited settings like Tanzania, while person-centered care models have been explored to promote health among older adults. Additional research has examined health literacy in relation to chronic disease self-management, particularly osteoarthritis, and the use of functional measures such as hand grip strength as nutritional assessment tools. The journal has also published experimental studies on aging mechanisms using animal models, as well as clinical case reports on complex medical management in elderly patients and analyses of pandemic care challenges affecting older populations.
