The present review on aging research in Switzerland describes ongoing gerontological and geriatric research in the field of both basic science and clinical research. Although Switzerland is situated at the rear end of the scale in regard of size or number of inhabitants, the number of high quality research groups per inhabitant positions it amongst the leading countries in the Western world. Being a small country Switzerland counts only five universities with clinical affiliations. Aging research in Switzerland therefore does not cover all areas of this rapidly developing discipline but some of the scientific contributions are mirrored in highest scored journals or others focus on topics that clearly bridge geriatric research and research on cellular and molecular mechanisms of aging.
本关于瑞士衰老研究的综述描述了基础科学和临床研究领域正在进行的老年学和老年医学研究。尽管瑞士在面积或居民数量方面处于规模排名的靠后位置，但按人均计算的高质量研究团队数量使其跻身西方世界的领先国家之列。作为一个小国，瑞士仅有五所附设临床机构的大学。因此，瑞士的衰老研究并未涵盖这一快速发展学科的所有领域，但一些科学贡献发表在得分最高的期刊上，或其他研究专注于明确连接老年医学研究与衰老的细胞和分子机制研究的主题。
