This special issue of the Journal grew out of a session on aging in the Middle East at the annual scientific meeting of the Gerontological Society of America (GSA) in 2006. There has been a growing interest on the part of GSA members about aging outside of the United States and we wanted to contribute to this developing interest by offering a session on the topic focusing on aging persons from the Middle East. This issue contains papers based on presentations at that session along with other papers that have been added to provide a broader perspective on the topic.
