Our expert, peer-reviewed publications are hand-chosen for their potential to impact clinical care and public policy for geriatrics healthcare professionals and the older adults and caregivers who rely on their cutting-edge expertise. Across a diverse array of content areas, JAGS articles address:
Principles of Aging, including biology, psychosocial needs, pharmacology, public policy, legal and ethical issues, and healthcare financing.

Conditions Unique to Geriatrics, including the full spectrum of geriatrics diseases/disorders and geriatric syndromes, as well as geriatric psychiatry.
