As the ratio of people over sixty-five continues to rise, understanding the basic mechanisms of aging and age-related diseases has become a matter of urgent necessity. ?Gerontologyí responds to this need by drawing experimental contributions from diverse medical, biological and behavioral disciplines to provide a primary source of high-quality papers covering all aspects of aging in man and animals. Recent research on the clinical problems of aging and the practical applications of laboratory results is also included to support the fundamental goals of extending active life and enhancing its quality. Informative reviews and an open debate section for stimulating, speculative articles carry strong reader approval.

隨著65歲以上人口比例的不斷上升，了解老齡化和與年齡有關(guān)的疾病的基本機(jī)制已成為當(dāng)務(wù)之急。eGerontologyi通過(guò)從不同的醫(yī)學(xué)、生物學(xué)和行為學(xué)科中提取實(shí)驗(yàn)貢獻(xiàn)來(lái)回應(yīng)這一需求，為涵蓋人類(lèi)和動(dòng)物衰老各個(gè)方面的高質(zhì)量論文提供了主要來(lái)源。此外，本研究亦納入近年來(lái)有關(guān)老化的臨床問(wèn)題及實(shí)驗(yàn)室結(jié)果的實(shí)際應(yīng)用研究，以支持延長(zhǎng)活躍生命及提高其質(zhì)素的基本目標(biāo)。信息豐富的評(píng)論和一個(gè)開(kāi)放的辯論區(qū)，為刺激，投機(jī)文章進(jìn)行強(qiáng)烈的讀者贊成。
