Lancet Healthy Longevity
Scope & Guideline
Catalyzing Change in Aging and Health
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Healthy Aging and Longevity Research:
The journal emphasizes research that investigates biological, psychological, and social determinants of healthy aging, aiming to improve the quality of life and longevity of older adults. - Multimorbidity and Frailty:
A core focus is on understanding the interplay of multiple chronic conditions and frailty in older populations, including the implications for treatment and care. - Socioeconomic and Environmental Influences:
The journal addresses how socioeconomic status, environmental factors, and social determinants impact health outcomes among older adults. - Innovative Interventions and Treatments:
It publishes studies on novel interventions, including pharmacological treatments, lifestyle modifications, and technological innovations aimed at enhancing health in older populations. - Public Health and Policy Implications:
Research that informs public health strategies and policies for aging populations is a key area, focusing on equitable access to care and resources.
Trending and Emerging
- Technological Innovations in Aging:
There is a growing interest in how technology, including digital health tools and telemedicine, can enhance the care and quality of life for older adults. - Mental Health and Social Well-being:
Research exploring the mental health impacts of aging, including loneliness, social isolation, and depression, has gained prominence, highlighting the importance of psychological factors in aging. - Lifestyle Interventions and Preventive Health:
A trend toward investigating lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, as preventive measures for age-related diseases is evident, showcasing a shift to proactive health management. - Economic and Policy Implications of Aging:
Emerging discussions around the economic burden of aging populations and the need for effective policies to address these challenges are becoming more prominent. - Cultural and Social Dimensions of Aging:
Research is increasingly focusing on the cultural and social aspects of aging, emphasizing the need for culturally sensitive approaches in care and interventions.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Medical Approaches:
There seems to be a reduced emphasis on conventional medical treatments without considering holistic or multidisciplinary approaches in older adults, as more emphasis is being placed on integrated care models. - Age-Specific Disease Focus:
Research that strictly targets diseases common in older age, such as Alzheimer’s disease or specific cancers, is being overshadowed by broader studies on multimorbidity and overall health in aging. - Single-Disease Studies:
The journal is moving away from studies that focus solely on single diseases in older populations, favoring research that examines the connections between multiple health issues. - Basic Biological Research:
There is a noticeable decrease in basic biological aging studies, as the journal increasingly prioritizes applied research with direct implications for clinical practice and public health. - Narrow Demographic Studies:
Research limited to specific demographic groups without broader considerations of intersectionality or diversity is less frequently published, reflecting a shift toward more inclusive research practices.
