About the journal
A fully open-access, peer-reviewed international journal
The Journal of Frailty & Aging (JFA) is a fully digital, gold open-access, peer-reviewed international journal dedicated to advancing research in aging and age-related (sub)clinical conditions. The journal focuses on publishing high-quality articles that explore the social, biological, and clinical factors underlying the onset and progression of frailty in older adults.
JFA is indexed in MEDLINE, ESCI (Web of Science), and Scopus. The journal welcomes original research papers, review articles, case reports, controversies, letters to the Editor, and book reviews.

Physical Frailty and Age-Related Body Composition Modifications
Physical and functional aspects of frailty, with particular attention to body composition, sarcopenia and obesity in older adults.
Neurosciences of Frailty and Aging
Research on the cognitive and neurological dimensions of frailty and age-related conditions, with emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders affecting older populations.
Frailty and Aging in Clinical Practice and Public Health
Clinical and multidisciplinary perspectives on the diverse manifestations of frailty and aging in advanced age, including social and public health dimensions.
