Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mental disorders, cognitive decline, and dementia represent critical public health challenges in the context of global aging. These problems profoundly affect the quality of life of older adults and their families, and must be comprehensively understood if effective solutions are to be developed. This Special Issue is dedicated to research on physical or cognitive interventions that aim to address mental disorders, cognitive decline, and dementia in older adults. It seeks to highlight effective multidisciplinary approaches that contribute to the prevention, management, and comprehensive care of these conditions from biological, physical, psychological, cognitive, and social perspectives. We welcome the submission of original research, systematic reviews, and any clinical studies that address mental disorders, cognitive decline, and dementia in older adults.
You may choose our Joint Special Issue in Epidemiologia.
