BMC Geriatrics is calling for submissions to our Collection, Managing multimorbidity in older adults.

Addressing the management of multimorbidity is crucial for improving health outcomes and ensuring the effective delivery of healthcare services. Advances in research have begun to identify best practices for the integrated management of multiple chronic diseases, emphasizing the importance of personalized care plans and interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare providers. Additionally, innovative technology and telehealth solutions are reshaping the landscape of chronic disease management, offering new avenues for monitoring, education, and patient engagement.

Ongoing research in this area may lead to significant improvements in our understanding of the biological and behavioral interactions among chronic conditions. With sustained attention, we may discover new therapeutic strategies that address the complexities of multimorbidity and facilitate the development of more comprehensive care models, ultimately improving the health and well-being of aging populations.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

• Strategies for managing multimorbidity in older adults
• Impact of multimorbidity on healthcare utilization
• Personalized care approaches for chronic diseases
• The role of technology in chronic health condition management
• Psychological and social factors influencing multimorbidity
• Health policy implications for managing chronic conditions in older adults
• Economic burden of multimorbidity on healthcare systems
• Cultural considerations in managing comorbid chronic conditions among diverse populations

BMC Geriatrics focuses on research related to health and healthcare in individuals aged 65 and older.

BMC Geriatrics is calling for submissions to our Collection on Aging and renal health: managing kidney disease in older adults.

The intersection of aging and renal health presents unique challenges, particularly as the global population of older adults continues to rise. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is prevalent among this demographic, often exacerbated by age-related physiological changes, comorbidities, and polypharmacy. Despite these complexities, there remains a need for consensus on best practices for diagnosing, treating, and managing CKD, diabetic nephropathy, and age-related renal function decline.

This Collection aims to explore the diverse aspects of kidney disease management in older adults, including the complexities of diagnosing and treating chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy, and the implications of renal function decline on overall health status and prognosis.

Advances in personalized medicine, nutritional management, and interdisciplinary care approaches have shown promise in improving outcomes for older adults with kidney disease. Additionally, recent research highlights the importance of early detection and intervention, as well as the role of kidney transplantation in enhancing the quality of life for older patients.

For this Collection, the topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

Epidemiology of kidney disease in older adults

Physiological changes in renal structure and function with aging

Comorbidities and renal health

CKD and diabetic nephropathy in geriatric populations

Dialysis in older adults

Kidney transplant considerations for older patients

Pharmacologic considerations in renal aging and renal disease in older adults

Nutritional and lifestyle interventions delaying disease progression

With ongoing studies, we aim to identify best practices and innovative strategies for managing kidney disease in aging populations.
