Digital Technologies for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention in Older People: Scoping Review.

Background: Digital technologies have the potential to contribute to health promotion and disease prevention in the aging world.

Objective: This study aims to identify digital technologies for health promotion and disease prevention that could be used independently by older people in nonclinical settings using a scoping review.

Methods: Through database (MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and SCOPUS; to March 3, 2022) and manual searches (to June 14, 2022), 90 primary studies and 8 systematic reviews were included in this scoping review.

Interventions simultaneously promoting social participation and physical activity in community living older adults: A systematic review.

Background: In recent years, there has been a global trend toward an increase in life expectancy and the proportion of elderly people among the population. In this regard, it becomes important to promote active and healthy aging. Physical inactivity and social isolation are both risk factors of many chronic illnesses and highly prevalent in older adults.

[Promotion of physical activity among the elderly as an example of knowledge translation: How do scientific findings enter community practice?].

Background: Scientific findings can be an important source of knowledge for public health stakeholders involved in promoting physical activity, but several barriers hinder their use. Knowledge translation can simplify this process, but it requires the understanding of the stakeholder's needs.

Objectives: This qualitative study aims to describe how public health stakeholders access information and scientific findings, identify possible barriers, and highlight the needs of stakeholders in terms of presentation and processing.

[Development of intervention databases to promote evidence-based prevention and health promotion-methodological considerations].

Municipal actors do not experience sufficient scientific support in the development and selection of preventive and health promoting interventions. Intervention databases can remedy this by presenting scientifically validated and well-documented interventions. This allows local decisions to be informed by scientific evidence on the effectiveness of interventions.
