The spatial distribution of diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease incidence in Valencia, 2015–2022: A retrospective, registry-based study
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are major contributors to global morbidity and mortality, shaped by social, environmental and behavioural determinants. Assessing the spatial distribution and socio-economic stratification of these conditions at fine geographic scales can inform place-based public health strategies. This study characterises the spatial patterns, socioeconomic gradients and temporal evolution of diag…
Cultivating Well-Being: An Exploratory Analysis of the Integral Benefits of Urban Gardens in the Promotion of Active Ageing
Ageing is a global demographic trend that has increased the total prevalence of multimorbidity, disability and frailty, posing ever greater challenges for public health systems. For older people, ageing is often associated with a loss of quality of life, independence and well-being. This study analyses the role of urban gardens as spaces that promote active ageing and contribute to the physical, psychological and social well-being of older adults…
Refining the Savvy Caregiver Program for Older Caregivers of Adults with Intellectual Disabilities: Co-creation through the Adapt-ITT Model
Background. Adults with intellectual disabilities are starting to live longer, and the percentage of family caregivers who grow old is increasing as well, facing a long-term care. This challenge together with their own-age related health issues and the lack of integrated care provision may have significant repercussions on caregivers, not adequately supported by services that usually provide fragmented care. Nevertheless, many studies have primar…
Care professionals' approach to early palliative care for non-malignant diseases shifted from relying on intuition to employing structured needs assessment
Early palliative (PC) among patients with non-oncological chronic conditions is not such extended as among patients diagnosed with cancer. This is partially due to the lack of clear and consistent indicators and triggers to define an ‘early’ or ‘timely’ initiation of PC services as the identification of palliative needs can be complex and uncertain in the transitions to advanced chronicity. The EU-funded project InAdvance (ref.: 825750) aims to i…
Policy recommendations for early integrated palliative care for older non-cancer patients
Policy makers need to consider the situation of the poor provision of Palliative Care (PC) in Europe. This deficiency has significant impact on older persons' health and contributes to increased healthcare costs later in life. The InAdvance project (ref. 825750) has generated new policy recommendations based on solutions for the early detection and referral of PC in older adults. These recommendations emphasize the positive impact on the quality …
Digital tools to augment care ecosystems around older patients with palliative care needs
Previous work identified that older patients with non-oncological chronic conditions, their informal caregivers and health and care professionals (HCPs) have psychological, social, financial and informational needs, such as about treatments and prognosis, effective communication, knowledge about palliative care (PC) or lacking confidence when delivering PC. Some of these needs can be addressed or supported by Information and Communications Techno…
Empowering Change: The Impact of Motivational Interviewing on Reducing Frailty Among Older Adults
Frailty, often associated with aging, is a prevalent clinical condition characterized by an increased risk of various health problems among older individuals. Efforts to prevent and reverse frailty have been hindered by the lack of a clear consensus on its definition and approach. The latest literature suggests that a multidimensional approach, including physical, psychological, and social aspects, is needed to address frailty better. To reduce f…

Psychosocial Impact of Infertility Diagnosis and Conformity to Gender Norms on the Quality of Life of Infertile Spanish Couples
Epidemiological data show that human reproductive disorders are a common problem worldwide, affecting almost one in six people of reproductive age. As a result, infertility has been identified by the World Health Organization as a public health disease. Reproductive problems can take a heavy toll on the psychosocial well-being of couples suffering from infertility. This is especially true for women, who tend to be the ones who undergo the most tr…
Implementation of a Comprehensive and Personalised Approach for Older People with Psychosocial Frailty in Valencia (Spain): Study Protocol for a Pre–Post Controlled Trial
With ageing, the risk of frailty increases, becoming a common condition that exposes older people to an increased risk of multiple adverse health outcomes. In Valencia (Spain), the ValueCare project develops and applies a value-based care approach that addresses the multidimensional nature of frailty by implementing integrated and personalized care to tackle psychosocial frailty. A pre-post controlled design with a baseline measurement at inclusi…
Self-efficacy as a mediator between frailty and falls among community-dwelling older citizens
Frailty is one of the most challenging issues among older adults, and the relationship between frailty and falls has already been assessed numerous times in literature. In the present study, we explored the mediating role of self-efficacy related to falls (FSe) in the relationship between frailty and fall risk. In a cross-sectional design, 1080 community-dwelling older adults from Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Valencia (Spain) completed a questionn…
Health Access, Health Promotion, and Health Self-Management: Barriers When Building Comprehensive Ageing Communities
A new intervention model for promoting healthy ageing grounded on integrated value-based care was developed and tested in the city of Valencia (Spain). Its implementation raised relevant barriers for older adults in their access to health, health promotion, and health self-management linked with their health and digital literacy. This new intervention model included several aspects. On the one hand, researchers together with older adults and thei…
Quality of Life and Conformity to Gender Norms in Women Receiving Assisted Reproductive Technologies as a Potential Indicator of Mental Health
The prevalence of depression, stress, or anxiety in people receiving assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has been demonstrated. However, knowledge about the influence of gender norms on quality of life (QofL) during infertility treatment is limited. The main objective of this study was to confirm that patients undergoing ART present a vulnerable mental state, which may be an indicator of risk. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental cross-sec…

Determinants of Refugee and Migrant Health Status in 10 European Countries: The Mig-HealthCare Project
The management of chronic diseases and mental health conditions in European migrants and refugees is a key priority for health service provision. Further efforts should be made to guarantee healthcare access for migrant and refugee populations
Migrants’ and refugees’ health status and healthcare in Europe: A scoping literature review
The European situation concerning migrants' and refugees' health status and access to healthcare is heterogeneous and it is difficult to compare and draw any firm conclusions due to the scant evidence. Different diseases are prioritised by different countries, although these priorities do not always correspond to the expressed needs or priorities of the migrants. Mental healthcare, preventive care (immunization) and long-term care in the presence…
Policy Makers', NGO, and Healthcare Workers' Accounts of Migrants' and Refugees' Healthcare Access Across Europe—Human Rights and Citizenship Based Claims
Freely available healthcare, universally accessible to the population of citizens, is a key ideal for European welfare systems. As labor migration of the twentieth century gave way to the globalized streams of the twenty-first century, new challenges to fulfilling these ideals have emerged. The principle of freedom of movement, together with large-scale forced migration have led to large scale movements of people, making new demands on European h…
