Background and Objectives In 2010, Webber and colleagues conceptualized the interrelationships between mobility determinants, and researchers tested Webber's framework using data from developed countries. No studies have tested this model using data from developing nations (e.g., Nigeria). This study aimed to simultaneously explore the cognitive, e...

Globally, the COVID-19 vaccine uptake is increasing, but slowly among older adults residing in lower and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. Following this, we explored the perceived views of older adults on the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria. We adopted a qualitative descriptive study design and purposively selected and intervie...

Objectives: To describe the association between personality factors and mobility outcomes among community-dwelling older adults in Nigeria. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 136 older adults [mean age (SD) = 65.1 (5.4)]. The Five-Factor Model of personality was evaluated using the International Personality Item Pool. Participants’ mobili...

Background: The efficacy of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in acute COVID-19 treatment remains under investigation, with conflicting results reported from randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Different dosing regimens may have contributed to the contradictory findings. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of SSRIs and...

Objective To synthesise the available evidence on physical factors, such as muscle strength and power, body mass index and their association with older adults’ self-reported and performance-based mobility outcomes. Method This review followed the Askey and O'Malley framework. We systematically searched PubMed, EMBASE, PsychINFO, Web of Science, Ag...

Background: The quality assessment provides information on the overall strength of evidence and methodological quality of a research design, highlighting the level of confidence the reader should place on the findings for decision making. This paper aimed to assess the quality (methodology and quality of reporting) of ageing studies in Sub-Saharan...

Although many factors have been associated with mobility among older adults, there is paucity of research that explores the complexity of factors that influence mobility. This review aims to synthesise the available evidence for factors comprising the cognitive, psychological, and social mobility determinants and their associations with mobility se...

Purpose To assess and compare the relative efficacy and safety of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody regimens for COVID-19. Methods This systematic review and random-effects network meta-analysis was conducted according to PRISMA-NMA. Literature searches were conducted across MEDLINE, EMBASE, PubMed, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and CNKI up to February 20th, 20...
