“…These findings are partially aligned with some studies found in accessible tourism literature, where older people with greater socio-economic status and higher educational levels are more likely to increase their mobility (Che Had et al, 2023;Noh and Joh, 2012). Notably, literature suggests that income is a good predictor of intention and participation of PWDS in travel and tourism activities (Fangbin et al, 2022;McGuckin and Fucci, 2018).…”

“…Generally, gender is associated with other parameters limiting people's mobility, such as ageing, deficient health status, low socio-economic status, lack of access to transport resources, and lack of motivation (Özcan et al, 2021). However, women are likely to be more concerned about the significant differences in accessibility, safety and security services provided (Che Had et al, 2023).…”

The present empirical study aims to determine the key factors influencing the travel intention of persons with disabilities who live across the Tungurahua Province, Ecuador. A cross-sectional survey was conducted between September 2019 and mid-March 2020, and collected 473 valid questionnaires containing critical components of the medical and social models of disability. Collected data were quantitatively analysed with multiple regression analysis. Results showed that some crucial elements of the social model of disability (i.e., socio-demographic features and destination quality dimensions) and an element of the medical model of disability (i.e., dependency or need of other persons) significantly affect the travel intentions of persons with disabilities (p<0.001). Findings allowed to conceptualise a new theoretical framework to potentially address and solve accessible and inclusive issues of persons with disabilities from Tungurahua Province-Ecuador and other international nations with similar natural and cultural attractions.

“…This kind of attitude can be improved by counseling the family members and explaining to them the balance between PA and taking rest. Many females are engaged in household work; however, with increasing age, they tend to rely on the younger members to do their tasks, hence becoming dependent and immobile [22]. Home-based physical activity programs are the most convenient and culturally acceptable [18,23].…”

Health-Seeking Behaviors and Misconceptions about Osteoarthritis in Patients and the General Population in Saudi Arabia

et al. 2023

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a public health disease that causes decreased mobility and leads to poor quality of life. A person’s health-seeking behavior can influence their understanding of a disease, which in turn can alter its course. The objectives of this study were to measure the misconceptions about osteoarthritis and to identify the associated health-seeking behaviors. An online, self-administered, questionnaire-based study was conducted with 872 Arabic-speaking participants divided into three strata, group 1 comprising of patients with OA, group 2 participants with joint pain (without OA) and group 3 comprised of general population. Multivariate logistic regression analysis found that seeking care from general practitioners [3.29 (1.19, 9.16)], taking advice from friends [2.83 (1.08, 7.42)], seeking care from chiropractors [3.67 (1.02, 13.60)] and podiatrist [4.64 (1.31, 16.51)] were significantly associated with misconceptions, whereas, the odds were lower for those using social media [0.16 (0.06, 0.46)] and expert websites [0.63 (0.40, 0.99)]. The findings of this study imply that the level of misconceptions is high amongst all three strata.. Expert websites and social media have a positive effect on the management of osteoarthritis. However, general practitioners and allied health workers should regularly update their knowledge using refresher courses.

“…While traffic accident countermeasures for older adult drivers are currently being implemented, automobile driving is very important to older adults [ 13 , 14 , 15 ]. The use of automobiles is essential for the independent living of older adults, particularly in depopulated areas where public transportation, such as trains and buses, is scarce [ 16 , 17 ]. Driving a car and getting around on one’s initiative is not only a matter of physical transportation but also a life necessity for community-dwelling older adults to live within society.…”

The number of older drivers is increasing with the aging population; this has led to concerns about traffic accidents involving older drivers. For older adults, the automobile is not just a means of transportation, but a life necessity that promotes social activities and maintains and improves health-related quality of life. In this study, we aimed to clarify the relationship between driving ability and physical fitness factors among 70 older adult drivers using a single regression analysis and multiple regression models adjusted for age, sex, and other factors. Driving ability was evaluated by driving an actual car on an ordinary road without a simulator. The single regression analysis revealed no relationship between driving ability and any physical fitness factor. In the multiple regression model analysis, only grip strength was an important explanatory factor; however, the driving ability scores decreased as grip strength scores increased. By clarifying the physical fitness factors that influence the maintenance and improvement of driving ability, it is possible to propose more efficient intervention programs to maintain and improve driving ability. We could not identify the relevant physical fitness factors in this study; therefore, further research is required to improve safe driving among older adults.
