Welcome to The Korean Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics(KAGG) Website!

The Korean Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (KAGG) stands as the nation’s largest alliance of six prominent academic societies dedicated to aging-related fields: the Korean Gerontological Society, the Korean Society for Gerontology, the Korean Geriatrics Society, the Korean Association for Geriatric Psychiatry, the Korean Gerontological Nursing Society, and the Korean Academy of Long-Term Care. Furthermore, KAGG proudly represents Korea on the global stage as a member of the International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG).

As our nation rapidly ages, we are now entering an era where the elderly population surpasses ten million. In response to this demographic shift, KAGG serves as Korea’s leading academic organization, uniting scholars and professionals from diverse disciplines such as gerontology, elderly welfare, geriatric healthcare, aging studies, geriatrics, geriatric psychiatry, geriatric nursing, long-term care, and senior sciences. Together, we are dedicated to improving the quality of life for older adults through research, innovation, and collaboration.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the former presidents and executives whose unwavering dedication and tireless efforts have been instrumental in the growth and success of this association. Moving forward, we earnestly seek your continued support and encouragement as we strive to further develop into an academic community that contributes meaningfully to fostering “vibrant aging and healthy longevity.”

Thank you.

Yong Kyun ROH
the 14th President,
The Korean Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics
