Biogerontology is a peer-reviewed journal published by Springer Nature and founded in 2000, devoted to the biological mechanisms of ageing and to extending healthy lifespan, with a 2025 Journal Impact Factor of 5.3.《生物老年学》（Biogerontology）是由（Springer Nature）出版的同行评审期刊，2000 年创刊，专注衰老的生物学机制与健康寿命的延长，2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.3。

Scope

• The journal seeks to understand, prevent, cure or minimise age-related impairments, with healthy old age as its central goal.本刊力求理解、预防、治愈或减轻年龄相关损伤，以健康老龄为核心目标。
• It covers modulation of the ageing process by physical, chemical and biological means, including transgenic and knockout organisms.本刊涵盖以物理、化学与生物学手段调控衰老过程，包括转基因与基因敲除生物。
• Cell culture systems used to develop new approaches and health care products for restoring lost biochemical functions are within scope.用于开发恢复丧失生化功能的新方法与保健产品的细胞培养系统也在范围之内。
• Immunology, autoimmunity and infection in ageing form a further strand, as do molecular and physiological biomarkers of ageing.衰老中的免疫学、自身免疫与感染是另一条主线，衰老的分子与生理生物标志物亦然。
• Vertebrates, invertebrates, micro-organisms and plants are all used for experimental study of the genetic determinants of ageing and longevity.脊椎动物、无脊椎动物、微生物与植物均被用于衰老与长寿遗传决定因素的实验研究。
• Biodemography and theoretical models linking ageing with survival kinetics are published alongside evolutionary and neurobiological work.本刊刊载将衰老与生存动力学联系起来的生物人口学与理论模型，也发表演化与神经生物学研究。
• Article types include original research reports, reviews, hypotheses, new methods, editorials and interviews, as well as guest-edited collections.文章类型包括原创研究报告、综述、假说、新方法、社论与访谈，以及客座编辑的专题合集。

History

• The journal was founded in 2000 by Kluwer Academic Publishers, and its first volume opened with Suresh Rattan's editorial Biogerontology and biogerontologists.本刊于 2000 年由（Kluwer Academic Publishers）创办，第 1 卷以（Suresh Rattan）的社论《生物老年学与生物老年学家》开篇。^[1]
• Kluwer's life science list was later merged into Springer, which continues to publish the title under the Springer Nature imprint.（Kluwer）的生命科学出版业务其后并入（Springer），该刊现以（Springer Nature）品牌继续出版。
• Volume 1 appeared in March 2000, and the journal reached volume 27 in 2026.第 1 卷于 2000 年 3 月出版，至 2026 年已出至第 27 卷。
• Six issues are published each year, in February, April, June, August, October and December.本刊每年出版 6 期，分别在 2 月、4 月、6 月、8 月、10 月与 12 月。
• The journal operates a hybrid open access model, with subscription articles alongside papers published under open licences.本刊采用混合开放获取模式，订阅论文与开放许可论文并存。
• The 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 5.3, up from 4.1 in 2024 and 4.284 in 2022, ranking 14 of 72 in geriatrics and gerontology.2025 年期刊影响因子为 5.3，高于 2024 年的 4.1 与 2022 年的 4.284，在老年医学与老年学类别列 14/72。

Editors

• Five section editors cover immunology, neurobiology, nutrition, biomarkers and bioinformatics, and exercise and hormesis.5 位栏目编辑分别负责免疫学、神经生物学、营养、生物标志物与生物信息学，以及运动与兴奋效应。
• Tamas Fulop of the University of Sherbrooke in Canada handles immunology and ageing, and Gurcharan Kaur in India covers neurobiology.（Tamas Fulop）来自（Canada）舍布鲁克大学（University of Sherbrooke），负责免疫学与衰老；（Gurcharan Kaur）在（India）负责神经生物学。
• Guillermo Lopez Lluch in Spain covers nutrition and diet in ageing, while Zsolt Radak in Hungary covers exercise and hormesis.（Guillermo Lopez Lluch）在（Spain）负责衰老中的营养与膳食；（Zsolt Radak）在（Hungary）负责运动与兴奋效应。
• Alexey Moskalev of the Komi Science Centre in Russia handles biomarkers and bioinformatics in ageing.（Alexey Moskalev）来自（Russia）科米科学中心（Komi Science Centre），负责衰老生物标志物与生物信息学。
• The editorial board lists 43 members from Europe, Asia, North America and Australia, and guest-edited collections follow the same review process, with guest editors excluded from handling their own papers.编委会列有 43 位成员，来自欧洲、亚洲、北美与澳大利亚；客座编辑的专题合集遵循同一评审流程，客座编辑不得处理自己撰写的稿件。
