“…Health benefits of physical activity for older adults are well documented in terms of reduced mortality (Chakravarty et al 2008), better functional, physical, and psychosocial health (Taylor et al 2004;Hughes et al 2004), more positive affect (Netz et al 2007), reduced risk of falling (Carter et al 2001), better health-related quality of life (Rejeski and Mihalko 2001;Motl and McAuley 2009), and less cognitive decline (Klusmann et al 2010). However, despite this evidence, many older adults are not sufficiently active to enjoy these health benefits (Newsom et al 2004).…”

Physical activity intervention in older adults: does a participating partner make a difference?

Social integration and social support are expected to facilitate the adoption and maintenance of physical activity. In the context of a physical activity intervention, we distinguished three partner status groups, serving as an indicator of social integration. It was hypothesized that individuals whose partner also participated in the intervention, as opposed to individuals whose partners did not participate, or individuals without an intimate partner, would benefit more in terms of their physical activity. In a second step, a differential prediction pattern of social support on physical activity for each of the three partner status groups was investigated. The study involved 302 men and women (aged 60-95 years) and included two measurement points in time: A baseline assessment with a leaflet intervention to foster physical activity, and a 4-week

“…Six studies reported analysis of attrition including race/ethnicity, with 1 showing greater attrition from the intervention study for nonwhites (22) and 5 showing no differences based on race/ethnicity (21,26,28 -30). Two of these studies (29,30) reported no differences in attrition, comparing responders and nonresponders on demographic characteristics without explicitly stating that they examined race. However, race was one of their demographic characteristics.…”

Objective. To determine whether research evaluating the effectiveness of behavioral interventions for arthritis demonstrates that these interventions are effective with, and appropriately utilized by, minority participants. Methods. A systematic review was conducted of arthritis intervention research from 1997 to 2008. For each article, information was gathered on the percentage of participants who were from different racial/ethnic groups, whether interventions were shown to be effective for minority participants, whether differential attrition analyses were conducted, whether efforts were reported in minority recruitment and retention, and whether attempts were made to make interventions culturally appropriate. Results. We identified 25 randomized intervention studies. Of these, only 2 reported on whether the intervention was similarly effective for white and black patients (equal effectiveness was found), and 6 studies reported examining differences in attrition by race (higher attrition in nonwhites was found in 1 study). Most studies did not report the percentage of participants from specific minority groups, and in many studies the percentage of minority participants was small. No studies reported making systematic efforts to assure that interventions were culturally appropriate for minority participants. Conclusion. Minority patients with arthritis are at risk for higher levels of disability than white patients, but little is known about whether evidence-based interventions for arthritis are effective for culturally diverse patients. In addition, minority patients appear to be underrepresented in intervention research, and too little attention has been paid to minority recruitment and assuring that interventions are culturally appropriate for diverse patients.

Six health economic evaluations [48][49][50][51][52][53] were identified. No review was identified in which the included studies fulfilled the inclusion criteria.…”

“…Regarding the categories "blinding of participants and personnel" and "blinding of outcome assessment," most articles were assessed as having an unclear risk for bias. Six articles met the inclusion criteria for economic evaluations [48][49][50][51][52][53] (Table 5). All economic evaluations were published in 2005-2011.…”
