Overview

The ageing brain refers to the structural, functional, and biochemical changes that occur in the central nervous system as individuals grow older, affecting cognitive abilities, immune responses, and overall neurological health. Research published in Aging Research And Healthcare examines this topic through multiple interconnected lenses, including the immunological dimensions of brain ageing and the broader social and healthcare contexts that shape outcomes for older adults. Published work has explored how immune responses to environmental exposures may parallel biological ageing trajectories, suggesting potential mechanisms underlying age-related neurological changes. The journal also addresses ageing as both a demographic phenomenon and social construct, examining whether population ageing represents a crisis or an opportunity for societies. Critical healthcare access issues affecting elderly populations have been investigated from health system perspectives in diverse settings including Tanzania and India, where nutritional status and service delivery barriers directly impact brain health and cognitive wellbeing. Additional research has examined systemic challenges in aged care quality and the vulnerability of elderly populations to abuse and neglect in specific contexts such as climate-displaced communities, highlighting how social determinants fundamentally influence neurological ageing outcomes and the preservation of cognitive function in later life.
