Editorial Note

Without continual growth and progress, such words as improvement, achievement, and success have no meaning. Journal of Gerontology & Geriatric Research (ISSN: 2167-7182) is growing continuously. It is our pleasure to announce that during year 2019, all issues of volume 08 were published online on time and the print issues were also brought out and dispatched within 30 days of publishing the issue online.
