Understanding the Aging and Age-Related Neurological Disease

Dear Colleagues,

The aging of the global population is a trend that continues to rise, with an increasing number of individuals reaching their golden years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that over 16% of the world's population will be 65 years of age and older by 2050. This emphasizes the importance of addressing age-related health concerns, including debilitating neurological conditions such as dementia, stroke, and Parkinson's disease. These diseases not only affect patients but also caregivers and families, and they have a far-reaching impact on both the economy and society. 

However, the rapid advancement of genetics, lifestyle factors, digital health, and imaging techniques has greatly increased our understanding of these conditions. In response to this growing public health concern, the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) has issued a call for papers that delve into the intricate relationship between aging and the development of neurological conditions. This provides a platform for authors to contribute to ongoing efforts to improve our understanding of these conditions and develop new therapeutic strategies to enhance the lives of those affected. Please note that clinical studies not sufficiently addressing the aim of the journal will not be considered.
