About

This collection is part of a recurrent series- Insights in Aging and Public Health: 2021.

Our global society is changing. Now in the third decade of the 21st Century, the achievements made by scientists have led to major advancements in the fast-growing field of Aging and Public Health. As indicated by the United Nations Declaration of the Decade of Healthy Aging (2021-2030), there is global interest in understanding determinants of healthy aging and strategies to improve the lives of older people, their families, and the communities in which they live. As such, the field of public health and aging must constantly evolve and adapt alongside the ongoing changes in population growth and demographics, social and physical environments, and policy and other drivers of health-related costs. Further, the indicators of risk and markers of success have assumed new meaning as new societal needs/challenges have emerged and our initiatives have targeted new populations and health behaviors.

This Research Topic welcomes forward-looking contributions focused on new insights, novel developments, current challenges, latest discoveries, recent advances, and future perspectives in the field of Aging and Public Health. While all article types will be considered, this RT seeks primarily articles that reflect and provide insights about the status of public health and aging across time and space. This collection of articles will broadly encompass a variety of health-related problems/issues across the socioecological spectrum that impact older adults and the communities in which they live. The goal of the RT is to shed light on the progress made in the past decade as well as existing and future challenges needing to be addressed. This article collection is intended to inspire, inform, and provide direction to researchers and practitioners in the field.

** The Specialty Chief Editors would like to evaluate abstracts before a full manuscript is submitted, so please prepare your abstract and submit if you are interested. **
