Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We have witnessed significant demographic changes in the health of older individuals across the globe in recent decades, and unmet healthcare needs are expected to increase exponentially. Unmet needs rely on the difference between the healthcare services deemed necessary and the services received.
We are excited to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue of the Journal of Clinical Medicine, aiming to increase our understanding of the epidemiology of aging through the lens of medical and non-medical unmet needs in our target group. We aim to explore the associated factors of developing negative outcomes by covering various critical points (ethical, policies, healthcare models and health service provision for older individuals in line with these unmet needs). We also want to give space to innovative research, particularly in the context of aging in place, healthy aging and unmet needs.
The topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the clinical dimension of unmet needs. We welcome reviews (systematic and narrative), original reports, perspectives, hypothesis and theory, methods and case reports.
We hope to receive your valuable contribution to advance our knowledge in this field.
Dr. Vincenza Frisardi
Guest Editor
