Third place visiting among mid-to-older adults: A cross-classified multilevel analysis
Healthy ageing in place: Perspectives on age-friendliness in ‘local’ communities
Age-friendly communities are designed to support older adults in staying healthy, active, and engaged in society as they age. While the built environment plays an important role in their wellbeing, little is known about what shapes older adults’ views of community age-friendliness. This study explored how mid-to-older aged adults perceive community age-friendliness, and how these perceptions influence ageing in place. Semi-structured interviews (…
A narrative review of community wellbeing programmes and the reported outcomes for young carers
Wellbeing programmes have the potential to support young carers in their formative years. However, there is a scarcity of research into wellbeing programmes for young carers and their associated outcomes. This review aims to identify targeted community programmes that support the mental health and social wellbeing of young carers and their outcomes through the academic literature. An initial search of databases retrieved 335 articles, with ten me…
Individual, social and area level factors associated with older people's walking: Analysis of an UK household panel study (Understanding Society)
Past engagement in physical activity and walking for pleasure are strong predictors of walking behaviour in older people, underscoring the importance of implementing and sustaining walking interventions across the lifespan to ensure continued engagement in later years and the associated health benefits. However, poor health significantly impedes walking in this demographic, emphasising the need for interventions that offer both physical assistanc…
A co-design living labs philosophy of practice for end-to-end research design to translation with people with lived-experience of mental ill-health and carer/family and kinship groups
There is increased recognition that people with lived-experience of mental ill-health ought to be centred in research design, implementation and translation, and quality improvement and program evaluation of services. There is also an increased focus on ways to ensure that co-design processes can be led by people with lived-experience of mental ill-health. Despite this, there remains limited explanation of the physical, social, human, and economi…

(Re)conceptualising physical activity participation as career
Physical activity is increasingly positioned as playing an important role in preventing and mitigating many of the decrements associated with biological ageing. As a result, public health messages encourage older people to remain active in later life. Despite this, physical activity participation rates among older adults are low. This may be in part related to the conventional approach to understanding physical activity participation as a product…
Sitting as a moral practice: Older adults' accounts from qualitative interviews on sedentary behaviours
Amidst public health campaigns urging people to sit less as well as being more physically active, this paper investigates how older adults make sense of their sedentary behaviour. Using an accounts framework focusing on how people rationalise their sitting practices, we analysed data from 44 qualitative interviews with older adults. All interviewees had received information about sedentary behaviour and health, visual feedback on their own object…
Lost in the shadows: Reflections on the dark side of co-production
This article is a response to Oliver et al.’s Commentary ‘The dark side of coproduction: do the costs outweigh the benefits for health research?’ recently published in Health Research Policy and Systems (2019, 17:33). The original commentary raises some important questions about how and when to co-produce health research, including highlighting various professional costs to those involved. However, we identify four related limitations in their in…
Ethical complexities of screening for depression and intimate partner violence (IPV) in intervention studies
The four principles have been subjected to criticisms in recent years but they remain prominent in public health and medical research. We provide a set of simple, interrogative questions that are narrative and relationally driven which may assist to further evaluate the potential impacts of using screening to identify eligible research participants in intervention studies. A narrative and relational based approach requires seeing people as situat…
