As the global population continues to age, maintaining the physical performance and independence of older adults has become a critical public health concern. Population ageing describes a simultaneous increase in the number of older adults and the growth of the oldest- old demographic, which poses substantial …

Background: As populations age, maintaining physical activity (PA) is essential to reduce chronic disease risk and preserve functional independence in older adults. Technology-supported interventions, such as wearables, mobile applications, and web-based platforms, have emerged as effective tools to …

INTRODUCTION: Physical Activity (PA) is essential for enhancing the physical function of pre-frail and frail older adults. However, among this group, PA-levels vary significantly. Identifying the factors contributing to these differences could support tailored PA interventions. This study aims to examine …

Background&aims Obesity and sarcopenia are major health concerns, particularly among older populations. Dietary protein may help preserve muscle mass and function, but high-protein diets, especially from animal sources, may also increase adipose mass. We investigated associations of total, animal, and …

The high prevalence rate of tobacco consumption among teenage school students has become a global issue with profound implications for their developmental trajectory. Research conducted at drug-abuse hot-spots as a proximal factor related to tobacco use has been limited. Therefore, the present study …

Objectives: Theoretical frameworks such as the theory of planned behavior (TPB) may provide a basis to study psychological factors associated with inhalation adherence among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study was designed to assess the predictability of TPB …

Background Standard care for older outpatients who are at risk of malnutrition in Indonesia is still based on the 2017’s recommendations of the Indonesian Geriatrics Society. and does not provide nutritional supplementation as recommended by ESPEN guidelines 2019/2022. Objective We compared the effects …

OBJECTIVE: This scoping review aimed to gather current knowledge on accurately identifying and distinguishing between non-frail, pre-frail, and frail older adults using gait and daily physical activity (DPA) parameters and/or models that combine gait with DPA parameters in both controlled and daily life …

Objectives: Sufficient protein intake is important for older adults to prevent sarcopenia. Better insight into dietary characteristics may be helpful to improve daily protein intake.Therefore, this study aimed to compare characteristics of community-dwelling older adults with distinct amounts of daily …
