Declining or Waning
- Traditional Gerontology:
Research that strictly adheres to traditional gerontological methods without integrating newer technologies or interdisciplinary approaches seems to be less frequent. - Longevity Myths and Non-Evidence-Based Claims:
Papers focusing on unsubstantiated claims regarding longevity without rigorous scientific backing have decreased, as the journal emphasizes evidence-based research. - Single-Domain Studies:
There is a noticeable decline in studies that focus solely on one aspect of aging (e.g., only biological or only psychological factors) without considering the interconnectedness of various dimensions. - Aging and Gender Differences:
While gender differences in aging remain an important topic, the frequency of studies focusing exclusively on gender disparities without a broader context has decreased. - Overemphasis on Age-Related Diseases:
Research solely focused on age-related diseases without considering preventative measures or holistic approaches to aging is becoming less prevalent.
