Abstract
Social gradients in health and aging have been reported in studies across many human populations, and - as the papers included in this special collection highlight – also occur across species. This paper serves as a general introduction to the special collection of Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews entitled “Social dimensions of health and aging: population studies, preclinical research, and comparative research using animal models”. Authors of the fourteen reviews are primarily members of a National Institute of Aging-supported High Priority Research Network on “Animal Models for the Social Dimensions of Health and Aging”. The collection is introduced by a foreword, commentaries, and opinion pieces by leading experts in related fields. The fourteen reviews are divided into four sections: Section 1: Biodemography and life course studies; Section 2: Social behavior and healthy aging in nonhuman primates; Section 3: Social factors, stress, and hallmarks of aging; Section 4: Neuroscience and social behavior.
