摘　　要：随着西方国家老龄化程度的提高,老龄研究兴起,其主要议题随着社会经济环境的变迁,尤其是社会年龄结构的变化而发生变化;老龄主题的社会学研究也逐渐从老年学、社会老年学中分离,使老龄社会学作为社会学的分支学科而存在,其演进轨迹与社会学母体的发展脉络遥相呼应,老龄社会学理论的发展推进也遵循内在批判的科学逻辑。进入21世纪,老龄社会学正经历第三个转折:生命历程理论框架下跨学科、跨领域、跨文化研究的广泛认可与应用。我国的老龄社会学研究起步晚于西方国家,虽取得了一定成就,但老龄社会学作为学科的发展及其完善还需进一步探索;就老龄社会学本身的发展而言,除因应现实问题外,只有在不断的争论与批判中才能取得理论的进步。In the increasingly aging process in Western countries,aging studies has emerged,whose topics are changing with the socio-economic situations,especially with the changes in the age structure of the society.Aging-related sociological studies are also separated from the disciplines of gerontology and social gerontology,and have become a new independent discipline,that is,sociology of aging,a branch of sociology.Its evolution follows that of sociology,and its theories also follow the scientific logic of immanent critique.The sociology of aging is experiencing the third transformation in the 21 st century by focusing on interdisciplinary and intercultural studies under the framework of life course theory.The sociology of aging in Western countries emerged earlier than that in China;thus,despite our achievements,the sociology of aging as a discipline in China is waiting for further development and improvement through theoretical debates and practical approaches.
