Nature Aging is a peer-reviewed monthly scientific journal published by Nature Portfolio, an imprint of Springer Nature.《自然-衰老》（Nature Aging）是一本由施普林格·自然（Springer Nature）旗下自然科研（Nature Portfolio）出版的同行评审月刊科学期刊。
Launched in January 2021, the journal covers basic, translational, and clinical research related to the biology of aging, age-associated diseases, and longevity.该期刊创刊于2021年1月，涵盖与衰老生物学、衰老相关疾病以及寿命延长相关的基础研究、转化研究与临床研究。
Nature Aging publishes high-impact, multidisciplinary research exploring the molecular, cellular, and organismal mechanisms underlying biological aging.《自然-衰老》致力于发表跨学科的高水平研究，探讨机体衰老背后的分子、细胞与有机体机制。
Key topical areas include cellular senescence, autophagy, genomic instability, stem cell exhaustion, and metabolic dysregulation.期刊的核心报道领域包括细胞衰老、自噬、基因组不稳定性、干细胞衰竭以及代谢失调。
In addition, the journal places a strong emphasis on age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular aging, osteoporosis, and immunosenescence.此外，该期刊特别关注阿尔茨海默病等神经退行性疾病、心血管老化、骨质疏松症及与年龄相关的免疫功能衰退。
Beyond basic biology, it features studies on geroprotective therapeutics, lifestyle interventions, and the public health and socioeconomic implications of an aging population.除了基础生物学研究外，它还刊登有关延缓衰老药物、生活方式干预以及衰老对全球公共卫生与社会经济影响的研究成果。
Springer Nature first announced the launch of Nature Aging in 2020 in response to the growing global demographic shift toward an aging population and escalating research in biogerontology.施普林格·自然于2020年首次宣布创办《自然-衰老》，以应对全球人口老龄化加剧以及衰老生物学领域日益增长的研究需求。
The journal officially released its inaugural issue online in January 2021 under the leadership of its founding Chief Editor, Sebastien Bouret.该刊于2021年1月正式以线上独占模式出版创刊号，首任主编为塞巴斯蒂安·博萨斯（Sebastien Bouret）。
Shortly after its debut, the publication quickly gained significant traction within the biomedical community and was indexed in major citation databases.创刊后不久，该期刊便迅速获得了学术界的广泛关注，并被主要文献检索数据库收录。
Upon receiving its first Journal Impact Factor, Nature Aging established itself among the leading journals in the fields of gerontology and geriatrics.在其获得首个期刊影响因子后，《自然-衰老》便确立了其作为老年学与老年医学领域顶级学术期刊的地位。
The journal is managed by an independent team of full-time professional editors.该期刊由全职专业编辑团队独立运营与管理。
Neuroscientist Sebastien Bouret serves as the founding Chief Editor, having previously worked extensively in the fields of metabolic regulation and neurobiology.神经科学家塞巴斯蒂安·博萨斯（Sebastien Bouret）担任创刊主编，在创刊前他长期从事代谢调控与神经生物学研究。
The in-house editorial team includes senior and associate editors with diverse backgrounds across molecular genetics, cardiovascular biology, and clinical epidemiology.编辑团队由数名高级编辑与助理编辑组成，他们分别在分子遗传学、心血管生物学和临床流行病学等不同衰老子领域拥有专业背景。
The in-house editors oversee initial manuscript screening, coordinate the peer review process, and make final acceptance decisions independently of outside editorial boards.编辑部成员负责对投递的稿件进行初步评估、监督双盲或单盲同行评审流程，并最终决定文章的录用与否。
