“…The feasibility and effectiveness of specific healthcare delivery models for the older population may be primarily affected by social structure, cultural perception, and economic resources, as previously noted in AGMR. 1 ) These factors might be less relevant for studying individual diseases with clearly defined biomedical definitions and therapeutics. For example, deprescribing medications in older adults with polypharmacy and frailty might be more critical in established medical systems with fee-for-service than in developing countries where seeking medical attention per se is barely accessible for most populations (and the number of excessive prescriptions is probably lower).…”

“…As a journal focused on aging and age-related conditions, Annals of Geriatric Medicine and Research (AGMR) has aspired to address disparities by representing the rapidly growing older populations of Asian and emerging countries since its inception. 1 ) While the journal has experienced substantial growth in terms of volume and visibility, 2 ) challenges remain for AGMR in its quest to become a highly impactful arena for discussion. Therefore, to brainstorm ideas regarding design strategies for sustainable growth to adequately address the current challenges, AGMR held its inaugural international editorial board virtual meeting on September 16, 2021.…”

Annals of Geriatric Medicine and Research held its inaugural international editorial board virtual meeting on September 16, 2021, to brainstorm ideas for sustainable growth. This special article summarizes the key concepts obtained from the webinar proceedings, with further development of ideas from ensuing discussions occurring after the meeting. From the initial discussion points provided by eight editorial board members, including six presenters, email discussions further enriched these ideas to construct the current special article. The key points discussed were: impactful research and impact factors, international and Asian perspectives, and challenges to sustainable growth. The editors noted the existing gap between the impact factor and research impact as a challenge for the growth paths of regional journals. However, they agreed that persevering with impactful research would ultimately translate into parallel and gradual gains in impact, which is, therefore, consistent with the organic growth of the journal. Acknowledging challenges in navigating between unique Asian perspectives and international outlooks, the editors encouraged academic journals to serve as bridges linking international evidence with the richness of local perspectives. For sustainable growth, the editors suggested that journals may be forged into the academic ecosystems of the region, diversify value streams, and establish themselves as reputable brands in disciplines. By combining these discussions, we proposed the "IMPACT" strategy for journals on the growth path in the region, which stands for IMmersive user experience encompassing authors, reviewers, and readers; Pasteur's quadrant use-inspired research; Asia-Pacific context; Collaborative; and Translation to practice and policy.

“…One reason for this lack of research could be that active aging is a particularly new concept developed in the 21st century and because geriatric dentistry has not yet developed around the theories of aging, new knowledge and ways of publishing on this topic are needed. [7][8][9] A conceptual framework about oral health and aging was proposed in 2021 and includes teamwork, minimal intervention, oral functionality, and patient-centered care, with maximal tooth preservation being one of the main goals, 10) particularly because maintaining oral health and keeping the teeth in the mouth are difficult in old age. 11) One major problem faced by older adults is tooth loss and edentulism, an irreversible condition that can be partial or total, in which individuals lose all of the natural teeth that were present in early life.…”

Background: While edentulism remains a serious public health problem for older adults in Colombia, few analyses have been conducted from the framework of active aging as a part of the positive discourse of aging. This study analyzed complete edentulism and its relationship with determinants including personal, behavioral, and health systems and social services. Methods: This study included a total of 19,004 older adults. We used univariate, bivariate, and multivariate logistic regression type scores to investigate the relationships between the variables. The personal determinants included basic (Barthel scale) and instrumental activities of daily living (Lawton scale), public transportation, functional limitations, self-perceived health, and health problems. The behavioral factors included alcohol and tobacco use, mini nutritional tests, and physical activity. The last determinant was the healthcare system, while social services access included dental services. The analysis also included sociodemographic variables.Results: The results revealed significant associations for the variables of the three determinants, including the risk of malnutrition (odds ratio [OR]=1.15), functional limitation (OR=1.15), moderate physical activity (OR=1.08), and access to dental services (OR=2.31). Sex, years of education, and race were also risk factors, among other variables. Personal determinants, behavior, and use and access to health services were related to edentulism in older adults. Conclusion: These findings support the need to include different analyses of edentulism from multicausality and to understand the oral cavity and the living conditions of aging adults.

“…Noting the challenge of addressing the tremendous research gaps in Asian countries experiencing the rapid aging of their populations, AGMR sought to become a high-profile journal to first serve and support this region with evidence-based materials and to embrace a dualistic outlook of harnessing the eclectic richness of international and regional perspectives. 3) During the pandemic and at the beginning of the post-pandemic era, the journal has contributed to delivering critical information related to coronavirus disease 2019 and highlighting the challenge of geriatric care in the unprecedented global health crisis. 4,5) As a result, AGMR could release innovative research results for the professional geriatric community.…”
