In elderly population, loneliness is considered as a risk factor for mental health disorders, especially depression. Depression and anxiety are among the most common mental health disorders worldwide and their prevalence is increasing, especially among seniors who are hospitalised and living in nursing homes.

    Dear Reader, 

    The Gerontology Days 2021 is the 14th annual scientific conference at the Faculty of Health of the University of Debrecen, which is unique not only because it is the only conference with a long history in this field organised by a Hungarian university, but also it is characterized by the diversity of the disciplines involved and by the diversity of the participants as well.

    In addition to academic researchers, lecturers and PhD students, professionals working in the field of elderly care and supporting for the elderly and other interested people listen to the lectures, participate in discussions, symposia and round tables.

    Thank you very much for the feedback (praise, criticism, suggestion, request) which are sent to us during and after the Conference!

    In this Special Issue of the scientific journal, you can read the abstracts of the lectures given at the Conference.

    First, a short summary of the plenary lecture of Prof. Dr. Miklós Tóth, followed by the extracts of English lectures and abstracts in Hungarian are available on this platform. 

    We are also looking forward to meeting you at the conference of Gerontological Days 2022!

    Editor of the Special Issue
