Introduction
I am a doctoral student at the department of Kinesiology, University of Alabama. My research interest focus on physical activity optimisation among post-operative cohorts using metric-based intervention and data from wearable actigraph technology. Also, I am interested in health promotion among older adults.

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...
Uptake of a vaccine is complete if individuals are aware of the associated risks of the vaccine, accept the vaccine, and respond positively to the nudges (activation) to increase the uptake, and respond when the vaccine is made accessible and affordable. We mapped systematically the existing literature concerning the 5As—acceptability, accessibilit...
Background:
In 2040, the older population's growth rate in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will be faster than those experienced by developed nations since 1950. In preparation for this growth, the National Institute on Aging commissioned the National Academies' Committee on Population to organize a workshop on advancing aging research in Africa. This me...
Abstract
To explore the healthcare providers' experiences in identifying and managing psychosocial and cognitive factors (PSC) during hip/knee fracture rehabilitation for older adults in Nigeria. An interpretive description approach, purposively recruited and conducted focus group discussions with three rehabilitation teams- two orthopedic surgeons...
Introduction
There is a growing interest in collaborative care for older adults in Nigeria; however, little is known about the application of a transdisciplinary approach to care in a typical Nigerian geriatric unit. Therefore, we described healthcare professionals’ (HCPs’) perception of a transdisciplinary approach to older adults’ care in Souther...
Introduction
Functional deficits such as gait speed, muscle strength or reduced activities in daily living after discharge are predictors for hospital readmission for older adults with hip fractures. However, physiotherapists (PTs) who are inherently mobility experts, do not actively participate during the hospital-to-home transition of older adult...
Study Aim: To describe how physiotherapists in northern Nigeria managed the environmental and socioeconomic determinants of mobility for older adults.
Methods: We adopted a qualitative description approach, purposely selected and conducted telephone interviews with 20 physiotherapists from Abuja [the Federal Capital Territory], four of the six stat...
Background: Effective fall prevention practices are essential for reducing falls among older adults. Rehabilitation professionals like physiotherapists are essential members of the fall prevention team, yet little is known about the experiences of physiotherapists practicing fall prevention in developing nations. Objective: To explore the experienc...

Introduction: The incidence of hip fracture among older adults in Nigeria is on the rise. As a result, there is increased frequency of hospitalization, patient suffering, family burden, and societal cost. One dimension that has not been sufficiently explored is the burden of care experienced by informal and formal caregivers.
Objectives: To descri...

Question (1)
I summed up five linkert variables measuring satisfaction with life scifea+,scifeb, scifec+, scifed+, scifee...I want to run a bivariate regression with the sum of these fiver linkert variables as the dependent variabel, and a continous variable like time spent caring for older adults as independent variable, does the sum of the linkert variables maintain being a categorical variable so i run a logistic linear regression or does it become a continous variable so i could run a sumple linear regression?
