Each ring, a year lived and thrived — aging as accumulation, not decline.
Is your work in scope?
Evidence across the full aging continuum
JARH connects biological, clinical, and health-system evidence to measurable outcomes for older adults. If your study fits one of these areas, it fits JARH.
Geroscience & biology of aging
Cellular senescence, inflammaging, immune ageing and the mechanisms that drive age-related decline.
Geriatric & clinical care
Multimorbidity, frailty, bone and joint health, and evidence that improves care for older patients.
Cognitive & brain aging
Cognitive decline, dementia, neurodegeneration and brain resilience across the life course.
Mobility, function & rehabilitation
Osteoarthritis, falls, sarcopenia, exercise and rehabilitation that protect independence.
Aging care systems & policy
Long-term care, caregiving, health equity and the systems that support healthy aging.
Healthy aging & prevention
Nutrition, lifestyle and preventive strategies that extend healthspan, not only lifespan.
Article types: original research, reviews and mini-reviews, case reports, literature reviews, editorials, and brief reports.
Out of scope: purely preclinical studies with no aging relevance, and topics outside health and healthcare.
Article processing charge: US$2,100 for a research article
Billed only after acceptance · no submission fee · reduced fees & waivers considered on request
