Health behaviours and well-being among older adults with a Surinamese migration background in the Netherlands.

Background: This study aims to identify the relationships between health behaviours (healthy diet, physical activity, not smoking and social activity) and well-being among older adults with a Surinamese background.

Methods: Community-dwelling older adults (≥ 70 years) with a Surinamese background living in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, were identified by the municipal register. A survey study was conducted to assess background information, health behaviours (healthy diet, physical activity, not smoking and social activity) and well-being.

Behaviour change interventions to promote health and well-being among older migrants: A systematic review.

Background: Whether behaviour change interventions are effective for the maintenance of older migrants' health and well-being is uncertain. A systematic review was conducted to assess evidence for the capacity of behaviour change techniques (BCTs) to promote the health and well-being of older migrants.

Methods: Electronic databases (Cochrane CENTRAL, Embase, Ovid MEDLINE and Web of Science) were searched systematically to identify relevant randomised controlled trials, pre-post studies and quasi-experimental studies published before March 2021.

In the Netherlands, older Surinamese individuals are more likely to have chronic diseases than are their native Dutch counterparts.
