Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyse the content of Journal of Aging and Health to identify prevalent topics, trends, and under-represented areas as suggested by the keywords associated with articles published from 2005 through 2014. Methods: Keywords associated with each article were entered into an Excel database. After reviewing and discussing the lists of keywords multiple times, the investigators created 23 topical categories. Results: There were 1324 unique keywords and 2572 total. The five largest keyword categories were Aged/Geriatric, Study, Physical disability, Health, and Demographic. The smallest of the categories, "Sex," contained eight keywords. Caregiver/caregiving appeared 31 times. Overall, the keywords "Hispanic" "Latino" and "Mexican American" outnumbered those for African Americans. Discussion: For several topics, keywords appeared infrequently and suggest areas where more work may be needed. Keywords appearing only once in 10 years were: hospice, program evaluation, cost-benefit, suicide, and assistive technology.
