Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the last decades, the percentage of people over 65, as well as the average lifespan, has increased considerably and is expected to increase further in the coming years. Aging in good health has therefore become a societal and economic issue. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of aging and preventing it by opposing the onset of age-related diseases is a public health issue. In this context, it is important to identify the genetic and epigenetic factors that can influence aging and to determine the associated mechanisms. It is now crucial to determine strategies to slow aging in order to oppose the onset of age-related diseases. Identifying predictive biomarkers of age-related diseases is a major challenge, as well as the discovery of molecules that can oppose aging and the occurrence of associated diseases. This Special Issue of Geriatrics entitled “Aging and Age-Related Diseases: Biomarkers, Epidemiological and Clinical Studies” aims to bring together relevant research works dealing with cellular and molecular, pharmacological, nutritional, epidemiological, and clinical aspects of aging and age-related diseases.

Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Geriatrics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
