This year, 2021, has already seen a number of ‘firsts’. The USA has appointed Kamala Harris as the first female AfricanAmerican, AfricanAsian Vice President; Lloyd Austin becomes the first AfricanAmerican Defence Secretary, and Joe Biden, the oldest person to have been sworn in as US President. In December 2020 the first (and oldest) person in the world, 91yearold British woman Margaret Keenan, received the vaccine against the coronavirus. At the Australasian Journal on Ageing (AJA), we welcome Professor Debra Waters as the Journal‘s first New Zealander EditorinChief. This is an exciting time for the Journal, with many opportunities to build on the legacy of Professor Lynne Parkinson and her Editorial predecessors who, over the past four decades, have worked tirelessly to bring the Journal to its current position. As we celebrate 40 years of the Journal, we aim to reflect on how gerontology and geriatrics have progressed over this time. The Journal will continue to address contemporary topics: COVID19 will remain with us for some time. The ramifications for older populations, particularly throughout the AsiaOceania region, will continue to be considered. For example, in this Issue, Harriet Radermacher reflects upon the mental health of residents of aged care facilities within the context of COVID19 and the Australian Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety.1 This Issue draws attention to our most recent Virtual Issue, which provides a curated selection of Journal publications since 2009 on healthy ageing within rural and remote settings. The associated Editorial provides an overview of the ongoing challenges and some of the interventions employed to date.2 Winterton and colleagues’ integrative review explores the extent to which contemporary models and interventions in rural Australian aged care meet agefriendly criteria.3 We hope that these will be useful resources for those working in this space. The Journal continues to receive an increasing number of submissions. We extend our thanks to the authors and to our associate editors for their valuable contribution to the dissemination of quality research and expert opinion. There is currently the opportunity to appoint additional associate editors. I strongly invite you to consider joining our team, to assist in strengthening the gerontological evidence base.

In 2010, the Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG) chose housing as its ‘Hot Topic’. Following the Association's activities during that year, AAG produced a position statement, published in the Journal,1 that highlighted five research priority areas, aimed at optimising the availability of a range of age-friendly accommodation, to meet the diverse and changing needs of older Australians (Figure 1). A decade later, AAG’s Housing and the Built Environment Special Interest Group (SIG) reflected on the extent to which these priorities have been addressed. The current Editorial presents these reflections and draws attention to key research published in the Journal during this period. It cites social policy articles published in the Journal that draw attention to the importance of housing for older people. The decade from 2010 to the present was used to frame the search. A simple search using 'hous*’ identified 437 items. The search was refined in PubMed to focus on the concepts of ageing in place, independent living and social planning. Of the 69 articles retrieved, titles and abstracts were assessed to remove non-relevant papers. For example, papers that considered housing stock as an investment/asset were excluded. It may be pertinent to return to this topic following the Commonwealth Government's Retirement Income Review. The remaining articles were categorised, and the Virtual Issue accompanying this Editorial highlights the role that housing and the local community environment play in enabling independent living. The challenges of creating an environment to enable ageing in place and the influence of housing tenure upon stable accommodation are both considered. The Editorial also notes the role housing and the local environment play in enabling social connection and a sense of community. The following sections provide a critical overview of the Virtual Issue content: the need for home modification, the influence of living arrangements on well-being, and developing agefriendly communities, including the importance of co-design.

This chapter focuses on undertaking research with older people and provides guidance for researchers intending to work with this group. Despite existence of physical activity recommendations for older people, the prevalence of physical activity, and decrease of sedentary behaviour, among older people in Western countries remains low. Strategies to optimize engagement in physical activity are suggested, with a consideration of potential contextual factors of ageism, environment and culture. The subjective and objective measurement tools available for data collection in older people are critiqued. Evidence gaps and future research opportunities are highlighted to encourage greater levels of physical activity amongst older people and promote effective evaluation.
