Abstract
As an introduction to this special issue on geroscience, the present work focuses on the complexity of disentangling biomolecular mechanisms of aging from biopsychosocial causes of accelerated aging. Due to this complexity, the biomolecular aging hallmarks of frailty and multimorbidity as predominant aging phenotypes in geriatrics reflect single aspects of the aging process. A possible approach to facilitate the integration of geroscience into healthcare might be to consider aging as the dynamic ratio between damage accumulation at the molecular and cellular level and resilience as strategies that prevent or repair such damage. There is a large body of evidence to show that geroscience has the potential to change healthcare; however, reaching a consensus and translating the best tool to measure aging needs more research on 1) the sensitivity of biomarkers to interventions and 2) the relationship between changes in biomarkers and changes in health trajectories.
期刊介绍：
The fact that more and more people are becoming older and are having a significant influence on our society is due to intensive geriatric research and geriatric medicine in the past and present. The Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie has contributed to this area for many years by informing a broad spectrum of interested readers about various developments in gerontology research. Special issues focus on all questions concerning gerontology, biology and basic research of aging, geriatric research, psychology and sociology as well as practical aspects of geriatric care.
Target group: Geriatricians, social gerontologists, geriatric psychologists, geriatric psychiatrists, nurses/caregivers, nurse researchers, biogerontologists in geriatric wards/clinics, gerontological institutes, and institutions of teaching and further or continuing education.
