Abstract

It is once again with great pleasure that we introduce the research work to be presented at the 2024 Chinese Congress on Gerontology and Health Industry (CCGI), which is published in abstract form in this issue of the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society (JAGS). The 2024 CCGI conference is the continuation of the annual national geriatrics and gerontology conference co-organized and co-sponsored by a number of major Chinese professional healthcare organizations including the Chinese Medical Association (CMA) Geriatrics Branch and China Health Promotion Foundation. This year's CCGI conference will be held on November 1–3. 2024 in the city of Haikou, China's island province Hainan. We have 115 quality abstracts to be included in this issue.

While COVID-19 pandemic is largely behind us, its impact on world economy and scientific conferences continues to be palpable. The current economic downturn and overseas regional conflicts create additional challenges. Despite these difficulties, the 2024 CCGI conference will be held in person and the research work to be presented at the conference is as robust as that presented at previous years' CCGI conferences. Similar to the previous 11 years, the work to be presented at this year's CCGI conference encompasses many important areas of geriatrics and gerontology, from basic aging research to geriatric syndromes; from clinical observation and large epidemiological studies to clinical trials; and from biological investigations to social and behavioral research. Unique to this year, it emphasizes palliative care, cardiovascular aging and diseases, systems approach for senior health, as well as socioeconomic determinants of aging care. It also includes a broad range of studies of basic and translational aging research, such as investigation into chronic cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection as a potential contributing factor to immunosenescence and age-related chronic inflammation, longitudinal cohort studies, mechanistic studies in animal models, and other types of studies including clinical trials for the prevention and treatment of common geriatric syndromes and age-related diseases. Moreover, almost 20% of the abstracts are submitted by researchers from other countries and regions including the United States, European countries (Germany, UK), South Korea, Macao, etc., demonstrating a robust international representation. The work described here will be presented in the form of oral presentation or poster at the conference. The conference will have similar number of symposia with individual symposium on translational aging research, common geriatric syndromes, prevention, rehabilitation, nutrition, geriatric nursing, traditional Chinese medicine, community geriatrics care, and long-term care, and so on. Publication of such exemplary work in geriatrics and gerontology in this supplement issue of JAGS will further enhance scientific and scholarly exchanges between colleagues in China and geriatrics and gerontology communities in the United States and around the world. To this end, we would like to thank again the leadership of the JAGS, particularly Dr. Joseph Ouslander, the current Editor-in-Chief, Mrs. Nancy Lundebjerg, CEO of the American Geriatrics Society, and Mr. Kurt Polesky at Wiley for their support and effort in making this a success.

As pointed out in the previous JAGS CCGI conference supplement issues,1-8 China has the largest aging population in the world. The development of quality geriatrics care and aging research is a national priority of China. While the requirement of geriatrics care services at all general hospitals has already been established by the national healthcare policy, the urgent demand for geriatrics workforce development remains to be unprecedented. To address this insurmountable demand, members of the CMA Geriatrics Branch who completed the national advanced training courses in 2015 and 2016 continue their efforts on geriatrics training through continuing medical education (CME) and other mechanisms across China. The Peking Union Medical College Hospital—Johns Hopkins geriatrics symposium which has continued annually since 2011 has also had and will continue to serve as a prominent geriatrics training platform. However, the winding road of geriatrics development in China will be long and much work is still waiting ahead. Current effort is dedicated to the development of quality geriatrics clinical and education programs as well as advancement of clinical and translational aging research. International scholarly exchange and collaboration are critically important as catalysts for geriatrics development in China but challenging, especially in the current political environment. US medical philanthropy such as Milstein Medical Asian American Partnership (MMAAP) Foundation under the Irma and Paul Milstein Program for Senior Health that has had and will continue to provide private funding to support clinical and research programs in China can serve as such a catalyst. Again, JAGS has led the effort through publishing Special Articles of its kind9-11 over the years, introducing aging demographics and recent geriatrics development in China to the colleagues in the US and around the world. Recognizing the need for other support services and products for seniors in addition to healthcare, the CCGI conference has also organized a large exhibition of qualified senior services programs, equipment, assistive devices, and other related products by healthcare industry, both domestic and international. Therefore, this year's CCGI conference continues to serve as an important platform and useful networking for not only scientific and scholarly exchange, but also potential development of partnerships and collaborations in senior healthcare and healthcare industry. This is particularly important and timely as China just announced its policy earlier this year that allows entities from other countries to develop, manage and own healthcare operations in China. To encourage and welcome participation of members of the American Geriatrics Society and Gerontological Society of America as well as researchers from other countries in addition to the US, the conference has established an international symposium. The CCGI Organizing Committee will continue its policy of waiving conference registration fee and covering conference-related travel expenses in China (i.e., hotel stay and meals during the conference) for them.

As we did in the previous JAGS CCGI conference supplement issues, we acknowledge the challenges for continuing such an international effort. Once again, kudos to the leadership of CMA Geriatrics Branch and the CCGI Organizing Committee on securing the funding, soliciting submission of quality abstracts for a relatively new but rising discipline in China, and conducting vigorous scientific peer review. Despite our experience from the previous CCGI conferences and our best effort to review and edit, some abstracts, in their translation into English, inevitably contain language errors. As such, we would like to ask for our readers' understanding of any oversight. We would also like to ask for feedback so that we can make further improvements in the future. To that end, we would like to thank everyone who is involved in this important work, both in China and in the United States. Once again, we wish the 2024 CCGI conference a great success!

2024 年中国老年学与健康产业大会摘要 2024 年 11 月 1 日至 3 日,中华人民共和国海南省海口市。
本期《美国老年医学会杂志》(JAGS)以摘要形式刊登了将在2024年中国老年学与健康产业大会(CCGI)上发表的研究成果。2024 年中国老年医学与健康产业大会(CCGI)是由中华医学会老年医学分会、中国健康促进基金会等多家中国主要专业医疗机构共同主办和协办的全国性老年医学与老年产业年会的延续。今年的 CCGI 会议将于 11 月 1 日至 3 日举行。今年的 CCGI 大会将于 2024 年 11 月 1 日至 3 日在中国海南省海口市举行。虽然COVID-19大流行病已基本过去,但其对世界经济和科学会议的影响依然明显。当前的经济衰退和海外地区冲突带来了更多的挑战。尽管存在这些困难,2024年CCGI会议仍将亲自举行,会上展示的研究工作与往年CCGI会议上展示的研究工作一样强劲。与前11年类似,今年CCGI会议上将要展示的工作涵盖了老年医学和老年学的许多重要领域,从基础老龄化研究到老年综合症;从临床观察和大型流行病学研究到临床试验;从生物调查到社会和行为研究。今年的独特之处在于,它强调姑息治疗、心血管衰老和疾病、老年健康的系统方法以及老年护理的社会经济决定因素。此外,还包括广泛的基础和转化性老龄化研究,如慢性巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染作为免疫衰老和老年慢性炎症潜在诱因的调查、纵向队列研究、动物模型的机理研究,以及其他类型的研究,包括预防和治疗常见老年综合症和老年相关疾病的临床试验。此外,近 20% 的摘要是由其他国家和地区的研究人员提交的,包括美国、欧洲国家(德国、英国)、韩国、澳门等,显示了强大的国际代表性。这里介绍的工作将以口头报告或海报的形式在大会上展示。会议还将举办数量相近的专题讨论会,分别就老龄化转化研究、常见老年综合症、预防、康复、营养、老年护理、中医、社区老年护理和长期护理等内容展开讨论。在《老年医学杂志》增刊上发表这些老年病学和老年医学领域的典范之作,将进一步加强中国同行与美国及世界各地老年病学和老年医学界的科学和学术交流。为此,我们要再次感谢JAGS的领导层,特别是现任主编Joseph Ouslander博士、美国老年医学会首席执行官Nancy Lundebjerg女士以及Wiley公司的Kurt Polesky先生,感谢他们为本刊的成功发行所给予的支持和付出的努力。正如前几期 JAGS CCGI 会议增刊所指出的,1-8 中国是世界上老龄人口最多的国家,发展高质量的老年医学护理和老龄化研究是中国的国家优先事项。虽然国家医疗政策已经规定所有综合医院都必须提供老年医学护理服务,但对老年医学人才培养的迫切需求仍然是前所未有的。为了解决这一难以克服的需求,在2015年和2016年完成国家高级培训班的中国医师协会老年医学分会成员通过继续医学教育(CME)和其他机制,继续在中国各地开展老年医学培训工作。自2011年起每年举办的北京协和医院-约翰霍普金斯老年医学研讨会,也已经并将继续作为一个重要的老年医学培训平台。然而,中国老年医学发展的道路曲折而漫长,任重而道远。目前,我们正致力于发展高质量的老年医学临床和教育项目,以及推进老年医学临床和转化研究。国际学术交流与合作作为中国老年医学发展的催化剂至关重要,但也充满挑战,尤其是在当前的政治环境下。 美国医学慈善机构,如伊尔玛和保罗-米尔斯坦老年健康项目下的米尔斯坦亚美医学合作基金会(MMAAP),已经并将继续提供私人资金支持中国的临床和研究项目。同样,《老年医学杂志》多年来通过发表同类特别文章9-11,向美国和世界各地的同行介绍中国的人口老龄化情况和老年医学的最新发展,起到了带头作用。考虑到除医疗保健外,老年人对其他支持服务和产品的需求,CCGI大会还组织了国内外医疗保健行业的合格养老服务项目、设备、辅助器具和其他相关产品的大型展览。因此,今年的 CCGI 会议仍将是一个重要的平台和有益的网络,不仅可以进行科学和学术交流,还可以在老年保健和医疗保健行业发展潜在的伙伴关系和合作。今年早些时候,中国刚刚宣布了允许其他国家的实体在中国开发、管理和拥有医疗保健业务的政策,这一点显得尤为重要和及时。为了鼓励和欢迎美国老年医学学会和美国老年学学会的会员以及除美国以外的其他国家的研究人员参加会议,会议设立了一个国际研讨会。CCGI 组委会将继续执行免收会议注册费的政策,并承担与会议相关的中国差旅费用(即会议期间的酒店住宿和餐饮)。正如我们在前几期 JAGS CCGI 会议增刊中所做的那样,我们承认继续开展此类国际性工作所面临的挑战。我们再次对中国医师协会老年医学分会和CCGI组委会的领导表示敬意,感谢他们为这个在中国相对较新但正在崛起的学科争取到了资金、征集到了高质量的论文摘要,并进行了严格的科学同行评审。尽管我们从以往的 CCGI 会议中积累了经验,并尽了最大努力进行审阅和编辑,但有些摘要在翻译成英文时仍不可避免地存在语言错误。因此,我们希望读者能够理解我们的疏忽。我们也希望读者能提出反馈意见,以便我们今后进一步改进。为此,我们要感谢中美两国参与这项重要工作的所有人。我们再次预祝2024年CCGI会议取得圆满成功!
