Climate anxiety among middle-aged and older city dwellers
Association of climate awareness with urban mobility and consumption behaviour in Accra
This study evaluated the direct and indirect association of Climate Change Awareness (CCA) with urban mobility options (i.e., walking, biking, and driving a carbon-dependent car) through Green Purchase Intention (GPI) and Eco-Socially Conscious Consumer Behaviour (ECCB). The study adopted a cross-sectional design with sensitivity analyses, robustness tests, and common methods bias evaluation. The participants were 865 adults in Accra, Ghana. The …
Association of frailty with physical activity behaviour and well-being in older employees
Older employees with frailty are less likely to report lower functional difficulty and well-being at higher PAB. Our results suggest a need for workplace programmes aimed at encouraging PAB. It also reinforces the importance of individuals performing and maintaining PAB
Association of workplace support for health with occupational health literacy and illness avoidance
WSH can enable older employees to improve their physical functioning and avoid illness, especially if it fosters higher OHL. WSH can be an appropriate way to protect employee health in response to ageing of the workforce
The Influence of Cultural and Mental Health Factors on the Prevalence of HIV/Aids Among Older Men Who Have Sex with Men
Discrimination of older peers is associated with workplace age discrimination
Older employees who experience higher age discrimination at work are more likely to discriminate against peers. OHL can be associated with lower WADE but higher ADP. Qualitative studies are needed to understand why OHL may be related to higher ADP
Continuous work-related sitting time and its association with perceived workplace support for health among workers in the Greater Accra Municipality
Work-related sitting time was associated with employee characteristics and was lower at higher PWSH. This study reinforces the importance of workplace support for health and its role in work-related sitting
The association between core job components, physical activity, and mental health in African academics in a post-Covid-19 context
Associations between vigorous physical activity, social ties, social support, and self-reported health among older adults in Accra, Ghana
Meeting recommended vigorous physical activity (VPA) levels represents a hallmark for healthy living, but VPA in older populations is likely to lead to casualties that may compel older adults to underscore their health. This study examined the associations between VPA, social ties, social support, and self-reported health in an African sample of older adults. This study adopted the cross-sectional design. The study population was community-dwelli…
Physical activity and functional disability among older adults in Ghana
Knowledge about how physical activity levels relate to functional disability is essential for health promotion and planning older adults’ care or rehabilitation. The risk of living with one or more chronic health conditions increases with increasing age in lower and higher income countries–many of which are associated with physical inactivity. We conducted a cross-sectional study to examine the moderating role of multimorbidity on physical activi…
Associations of Social Networks with Physical Activity Enjoyment among Older Adults
The available evidence suggests that social networks can contribute to physical activity (PA) enjoyment, which is necessary for the maintenance of PA over the life course. This study assessed the associations of active and sedentary social networks with PA enjoyment and ascertained whether walkability moderates or modifies these associations. A cross-sectional design compliant with STROBE (Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in E…
Sedentary behaviour among older adults residing in flat and hilly neighbourhoods and its association with frailty and chronic disease status
Older adults living in the hilly neighbourhood reported higher sedentary behaviour. In the hilly neighbourhood, sedentary behaviour was more strongly associated with frailty and chronic disease status. Older adults in hilly neighbourhoods may need extra support to avoid sedentary behaviour
Older Adults’ Vigorous Occupational Physical Activity Levels in Six Countries Are Explained by Country and ‘Having Multiple Jobs’
Several studies have compared physical activity (PA) levels between countries, but none of these studies focused on older adults and occupational PA. This study aimed to assess potential inequalities in older adults' occupational PA across six countries and to ascertain whether having multiple jobs is a factor that interacts with country of residence to modify inequalities. This study adopted a cross-sectional design with a statistical technique …
The Built Environment and Socio-Demographic Correlates of Partial and Absolute Sedentary Behaviours in Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Accra, Ghana
Short-Term Changes in Behaviors Resulting from Covid-19-Related Social Isolation and Their Influences on Mental Health in Ghana
General, Target, and Accessible Population
In this paper the concepts of general, target and accessible population are explained in response to misconceptions and controversies associated with them, and the fact that the relationships between them have not been explained in the context of qualitative enquiry in any formal study. These concepts are discussed in this study based on a general scenario. We basically attempt to explain the importance of specifying the general, target and acces…
