MEDICAL SCIENCES SECTION OF THE JOURNALS OF GERONTOLOGY SERIES A EDITOR’S CHOICE ARTICLES OF 2024 - The Effect of Life Experiences on Aging and Disease

Sep 29, 2026

The 2024 “Editor’s Choice” symposium from the Medical Sciences section of The Journals of Gerontology, Series A, highlights how life experience and life-style influences shape aging and disease. Four articles examine links between extreme heat and ozone risk, previous incarceration and geriatric syndromes, activity-intensity and 24‑hour activity patterns with cognitive and cardiometabolic outcomes, and caregiving-related depression and neuroinflammation in older spousal caregivers with cognitive impairment. A discussant synthesizes shared lessons for marginalized and medically vulnerable individuals.

Featured Studies and Focus Areas

Innovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2 397 impact of caregiving to individuals with cognitive impairmentsand how it contributes to neuroinflammation, a well-known risk factor for various diseases. In “Sociodemographic Determinants of Extreme Heat and Ozone Risk Among Older Adults in 3 Sun Belt Cities”, Peter Crank and colleagues surveyed how older adults are affected by extreme heat and ozone pollution inside and outside of their homes across select cities in the United States. Christopher Kaufmann and his co-authors investigated the association between previous incarceration and various chronic health conditions in older adults in “Links of Previous Incarceration With Geriatric Syndromes and Chronic Health Conditions Among Older Adults in the United States”. Raya Kheirbek, our discussant, will draw upon her own research studying the unique needs of marginalized and medically vulnerable individuals to highlight commonalities and lessons learned from these studies.
