AJA Latest Issue – Volume 41, Issue 4
The December Issue of the Australasian Journal on Ageing (AJA) for 2022 marks the final print version of the journal. From next year, the journal will be published online only. Members of the partner organisations will continue to have access via this route.
The journal bids farewell to our Editor in Chief, Professor Debra Waters, who has steadily steered the journal through the past few tumultuous years of the pandemic. We will introduce everyone to our new Editor in Chief in the New Year.
The 2022 AAG Glenda Powell Travelling Fellow is Professor Peter Bragge. His editorial in this Issue accompanies the most recent in a series of virtual issues of the AJA. The editorial provides a commentary on papers previously published in the AJA on the theme of co-design. The theme complements the AAG’s 2022 Hot Topic ‘How to achieve authentic co-design with and for older Australians’.
The Issue contains articles that provide a comprehensive snapshot of research being conducted in the fields of gerontology and geriatric medicine. There are three reviews, including one on opioid prevalence in residential aged care. In their editorial, Delbaere and colleagues highlight the increasing burden of falls for society and individuals. Croker and colleagues present findings from a national survey on whether Australians are willing to pay more tax to support wage increases for aged care workers. Patel and colleagues discuss dementia risk reduction initiatives for culturally and linguistically diverse older adults. Yu and colleagues report on the diagnostic use of serum biomarkers for sarcopenia. Pit and colleagues compare minimal trauma hip fractures (MTHF) between older Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.
