This paper describes current biogerontology research in Finland especially in the universities with professorships in gerontology/geriatrics. If biogerontology is broadly taken to include all research in basic mechanisms of normal ageing as well as age-related diseases, the most prevalent current topics include basic research in genetics, mitochondrial function, musculoskeletal physiology, neurodegenerative and vascular diseases. The research activity of each institute and their international collaboration is briefly described with examples focused on recent publications in the field of biogerontology.
本文介绍了芬兰目前的生物老年学研究，特别是在设有老年医学/老年病学教授职位的大学中的研究。如果广义地将生物老年学理解为包括正常衰老和与年龄相关疾病的所有基础机制研究，那么目前最流行的研究主题包括遗传学、线粒体功能、肌肉骨骼生理学、神经退行性和血管疾病的基础研究。本文简要描述了每个研究所的研究活动及其国际合作情况，并以生物老年学领域的近期出版物为例进行了重点介绍。
