摘要
The Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology (TMIG) celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2002. Since its establishment, TMIG has been carrying out inter-disciplinary research on aging as a core institute in Japan and functions as a knowledge bank and a source for capable researchers of gerontology. The proportion of people aged 65 and above in Japan will reach 30% in the near future, which might be associated with serious medical, social, political. and financial problems, Because most developed countries will face similar situations in the near future, multidisciplinary studies in gerontology on a worldwide scale a-re necessary to solve the associated problems.
