Age and Ageing is an international journal publishing refereed original research, review articles and editorial pieces on geriatric medicine and clinical gerontology. Its scope includes applied and clinical research on human ageing and clinical, epidemiological and psychological aspects of later life, medical education and service improvement. We place particular emphasis on material which will be of immediate interest to clinicians. We rarely publish analyses of epidemiological studies where the clinical, health policy or educational implications are not clear. We do not publish in vitro or animal studies.

Age and Ageing is the journal of the British Geriatrics Society, improving healthcare for older people.

Age and Ageing is a leading international clinical geriatric medicine journal.

Through OUP we are proud to offer free or greatly reduced subscriptions to institutions in developing and transition countries, read more.

We offer Open Access publishing options, support Author Self-Archiving and Perpetual Access and Preservation to facilitate wider dissemination of research. 

Many of our articles are free to read and download. All content is free to access 12 months after publication. 

The Age and Ageing journal supports diversity and inclusion in scholarly communications and with Oxford Journals observes the Joint Statement of Principles of the Coalition for Diversity & Inclusion in Scholarly Publishing (C4DISC).
