  • Geriatric day hospitals were originally set up to provide rehabilitation and social care for older adults. Román Romero-Ortuño highlights how in Ireland, geriatric day hospitals have evolved into hubs for integrated care, which prevents avoidable hospital admissions and promotes independence for older adults.

  • Although the emerging field of geroscience holds great promise for identifying new approaches to improve healthspan, several risks of the current framework are underappreciated. Long time horizons, challenges in identifying causality-driven surrogate biomarkers of aging, and the potential for biological trade-offs and antagonistic effects across various timescales mean it will be hard to know when such interventions have a net benefit. We propose eight strategies to mitigate these risks going forwards.

  • Reproductive aging is increasingly recognized as an important determinant of fertility span and overall health and wellbeing in older age. In this Focus issue, Nature Aging presents a series of reviews and opinion pieces on recent advances in reproductive aging research.

    Editorial
  • Reproductive health is fundamentally connected with overall health. The Bia-Echo Asia Centre for Reproductive Longevity and Equality discusses an innovative approach to healthy longevity that is tailored uniquely to individual patterns of aging, which will require reproductive medicine, biological aging research and public engagement to join forces.

  • As fertility rates decline and childbearing age increases globally, assisted reproductive technology (ART) has a crucial role in enhancing birth rates and will contribute substantially to future generations. ART has fulfilled family formation wishes for many individuals facing infertility and aids in solving demographic challenges. Today, up to 9% of the European population is conceived after ART. Considerable advancements in ARTs have improved the effectiveness of treatment, but the ultimate quality control in ART is healthy offspring. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to monitor the health of individuals conceived through ART, and ensure that ART not only provides for the birth of healthy children but also for health into old age.
