Physical activity interventions implemented for older people in Sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review.

Background: Sub-Saharan Africa mirrors global patterns with an expanding elderly demographic, frequently characterised by a high incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), manifesting as multimorbidity. Physical activity (PA) is a validated intervention for managing the increasing prevalence of NCDs in this demographic.

Objective: This review aimed to elucidate the extent of PA interventions implemented in Sub-Saharan Africa for managing NCDs in older people (OP).

Types, design, implementation, and evaluation of nutrition interventions in older people in Africa: A scoping review protocol.

Introduction: Africa's older population is increasing and this, necessitates the development of interventions to promote healthy ageing. Nutrition is a key determinant of healthy ageing and local contextual evidence is needed to inform nutritional intervention development in Africa. There are already reviews on nutritional status and food insecurity in older adults in Africa.

Physical activity interventions implemented for older people in sub-Saharan Africa: protocol for a scoping review.

Introduction: The global population of older people (OP) is on an upward trajectory, with predictions that the number of OP would surpass the population of younger people by 2050. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), death from infectious diseases in the younger population and lower fertility rates are influencing a double burden contributing to an exponential growth in the ageing population. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of mortality and disability in the population of OP in SSA.

A cluster-randomized controlled trial to improve the quality of integrated HIV-tuberculosis services in primary healthcareclinics in South Africa.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) remains the most common cause of death among people living with HIV. Integrating HIV and TB services reduces mortality but is sub-optimally implemented. Quality improvement (QI) methods offer a low-cost and easily implementable approach to strengthening healthcare delivery systems.
