Discrimination of older peers is associated with workplace age discrimination: moderation by occupational health literacy.

Background: Workplace Age Discrimination Experienced (WADE) can be disorientating and detrimental to well-being. Hence, older employees would like to avoid it, but those who experience it may discriminate against their older peers. WADE may be associated with Age Discrimination of Peers (ADP), and this relationship can be moderated by Occupational Health Literacy (OHL).

Internet self-efficacy moderates the association of information technology ability with successful ageing among older employees in three African samples.

The literature suggests that two distinct competencies [i.e., information technology ability (ITA), and internet self-efficacy] are necessary for the effective use of information technologies for successful ageing, but no study has examined the association of these skills on successful ageing and its domains (i.

Association of information technology ability, workplace social engagement, and successful ageing: validation of a short measure with three African samples.

This study examined the association of workplace social engagement (WSE) and information technology ability (ITA) with successful ageing and validated a brief scale measuring WSE. The interaction of WSE and ITA on successful ageing was also assessed. A cross-sectional design was adopted, and the participants were 1186 older adults living in Kenya (n = 350), Nigeria (n = 260), and Ghana (n = 576).

The association between physical activity and self-reported health in older adults: lessons implied by lifestyle factors.

Physical activity (PA) has been evidenced to be associated with self-reported health, but studies providing this evidence have failed to incorporate some relevant covariates, especially those pertinent to an African sample. This study examined the association between PA and self-reported health, with relevant lifestyle factors, comorbidities, and personal characteristics treated as covariates in this assessment. The study population was retired and working older people aged 60 years or more in Accra, Ghana.

Assessing the maturity of community-level built environments for older adults' active behaviors: highlights from a psychometric test.

The community development approach to healthy active aging advocates constant availability of relevant built environment factors in the community as a requirement for active behaviors. In this paper, scores from a new scale measuring these factors are interpreted to guide future assessment of active built environments in the community. Participants were 515 older adults in Accra aged 60 years or more who met some inclusion criteria.

Injuries, dislocations, and poor health perceived by older adults to result from vigorous physical activity: implications for active living, health promotion, and gerontology.

This study examines older adults' perceptions about their participation in vigorous physical activity (VPA) and the association between VPA and self-related health. A total of 686 older adults responded to self-reported questionnaires, and Pearson's ꭓ2 test and binary logistic regression were used to present findings. About 74% of older adults reported experiencing dislocations, fractures, or/and other forms of injury in intense physical activities lasting 30 minutes or more a day.
