Interrupting sedentary behaviour when working from home
Desk-based employees sit for large amounts of their day, exposing them to the health risks associated with sedentary behaviour (SB). The number of older workers (≥ 50) is increasing, making it important to promote healthy ageing in the workplace. With more workplaces offering home-working, it is important to explore how this environment influences SB. This study uses the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) alongside the Capability, Opportunity, M…
Evaluation of the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme implemented across three United Kingdom regions
The Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme, delivered over 24 weeks, reduces falls in randomised controlled trials and ‘real world’ delivery, but some services deliver shorter, adapted FaME programmes. We investigated the ‘real-world’ effectiveness of FaME delivered for 12 or 24 weeks across three UK regions. Design: prospective cohort study. Participants: 1,601 FaME programme attendees (median age 79.5 years), of whom 873 had follow-up data …
Frailty
Frailty is a complex, age-related clinical condition that involves multiple contributing factors and raises the risk of adverse outcomes in older people. Given global population ageing trends, the growing prevalence and incidence of frailty pose significant challenges to health and social care systems in both high-income and lower-income countries. In this review, we highlight the disproportionate representation of research on frailty screening a…
Exercise instructors are not consistently implementing the strength component of the UK chief medical officers’ physical activity guidelines in their exercise prescription for older adults
Strength training recommendations have been embedded within the UK’s Chief Medical Officers’ physical activity guidelines since 2011. There is limited evidence that these recommendations are used by exercise instructors in the community to underpin strength training prescription in the older adult population. This study aimed to explore exercise instructors’ awareness and utilisation of the guidelines when prescribing strength training to older a…
World guidelines for falls prevention and management for older adults
BACKGROUND: falls and fall-related injuries are common in older adults, have negative effects on functional independence and quality of life and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and health related costs. Current guidelines are inconsistent, with no up-to-date, globally applicable ones present. OBJECTIVES: to create a set of evidence- and expert consensus-based falls prevention and management recommendations applicable to older a…
A Lot of People Just Go for Walks, and Don’t Do Anything Else’
Strength recommendations have been embedded within the UK's Chief Medical Officers' physical activity guidelines since 2011. In 2019, they were given a more prominent position in the accompanying infographic. However, there is limited evidence that these recommendations have been successful in their population-wide dissemination. This study aimed to explore the engagement of community-dwelling older adults with the guidelines to date and to gain …
The impact of Covid-19 lockdowns on physical activity amongst older adults
Reductions in older adults' physical activity levels during COVID-19 lockdowns have put them at risk of becoming deconditioned and developing adverse health outcomes. Resources should be allocated to promote the uptake of physical activity in older adults to reverse the effects of deconditioning
Perspectives of Escape-Pain Programme for Older People With Knee Osteoarthritis in the Community Setting
Background: Functional limitationscommonly affect patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) which reduces quality of life. The Enabling Self-management and Coping with Arthritic Pain using Exercise (ESCAPE-pain) is an evidence-based programme identified to be suitable for adaptation for the Malaysian health care system. It is important to understand the acceptance from a sociocultural context of the ESCAPE-pain programme from the perspectives of pat…
How Do Decision Makers and Service Providers Experience Participatory Approaches to Developing and Implementing Physical Activity Interventions with Older Adults? A Thematic Analysis
Incorporating participatory approaches was perceived to yield important benefits. Interviewees highlighted that to ensure success, sufficient time needs to be provided to develop good working relationships with older adults and partner organisations. They also emphasised that sufficient funding to ensure adequate staffing and the sustainability of projects is required to allow benefits to be gained. Importantly, the implementation of these approa…
Involving Older Adults in Developing Physical Activity Interventions to Promote Engagement
Physical activity (PA) is associated with health benefits, with policy across the world focussing on increasing participation. Yet uptake and adherence to PA amongst older adults remains below the recommended 150 min/week. This review aims to identify how older adults have been involved in the design, delivery, implementation and promotion of interventions to promote PA uptake and adherence, and whether there are any recorded benefits of this inv…
Technology, cyberstalking and domestic homicide
An emerging concern in relation to the importance of technology and social media in everyday life relates to their ability to facilitate online and offline stalking, domestic violence and escalation to homicide. However, there has been little empirical research or policing and policy attention to this domain. This study examined the extent to which there was evidence of the role of technology and cyberstalking in domestic homicide cases based on …
Multiple influences on participating in physical activity in older age
BACKGROUND: Evidence of the benefits of engaging in physical activity (PA) is strong, yet the number of older adults meeting the recommended 150 min/wk is low. Policy to increase uptake and adherence has focussed on the health benefits of PA, but may not be the most successful approach. OBJECTIVE: This qualitative study sought to ask older adults what the components of a successful intervention to promote PA would be, by asking active older adult…
The causes of falls
BACKGROUND: Sight impairment increases with age and, compared with the general older population, older people with sight impairment are more likely to fall. There is a growing body of evidence on the views and perceptions of older people about falls, but little is published on the views of older people with sight impairment. OBJECTIVE: To explore what older people with sight impairment believe to be the causes of falls. DESIGN: A qualitative desi…
How does mental-physical multimorbidity express itself in lived time and space? A phenomenological analysis of encounters with depression and chronic physical illness
Perceived barriers to initiating and maintaining physical activity among South Asian and White British adults in their 60s living in the United Kingdom
Understanding the multiple levels of influence on older adults' PA behaviour can provide the basis for developing comprehensive approaches to health promotion initiatives aimed at increasing PA levels. Healthcare providers need to understand the characteristics and specific barriers faced by these groups of older adults; work with older people from these groups to develop culturally appropriate PA programmes and address the misunderstandings and …
What influences referrals within community palliative care services? A qualitative case study
Attitudes and Beliefs That Predict Older People's Intention to Undertake Strength and Balance Training
Many older people refuse to participate in programs of strength and balance training (SBT), limiting their effectiveness for falls prevention. To persuade older people to take up SBT, we need to know whether their intention to undertake SBT is motivated by the perceived threat of falling or the perceived suitability and benefits of SBT. A survey of 558 people aged 60 to 95 years assessed intention to undertake SBT, as well as measures of threat a…
Development and initial validation of the Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I)
BACKGROUND: There is a need for a measure of fear of falling that assesses both easy and difficult physical activities and social activities and is suitable for use in a range of languages and cultural contexts, permitting direct comparison between studies and populations in different countries and settings. OBJECTIVE: To develop a modified version of the Falls Efficacy Scale to satisfy this need, and to establish its psychometric properties, rel…

Place of death and access to home care services
When Technical Rationality Fails
The theory that thinking is modelled on the social activity of argument is investigated through the views of general practitioners about terminally ill patients. The social activity of general practice centres on the consultation, which the doctor manages by 'technical rationality'. But this is difficult when the patient is terminally ill. In that case technical rationality is seen to fail and rhetorical skills are invoked. GPs' thinking about su…
