“…However, it is a valid measure of health status and is often used as a health indicator in research on older adults in different socio-cultural settings (Cislaghi & Cislaghi, 2019;Jylha, 2009;Lin et al, 2020;Minami et al, 2015). Despite its subjective nature, this singleitem measure is a good correlate of mortality (DeSalvo et al, 2006;Fan & He, 2022;Lorem et al, 2020;Wuorela et al, 2020) and active engagement (Kaleta et al, 2008;Makizako et al, 2021;Sewdas et al, 2018).…”

Malaysia is undergoing rapid age structural shift to becoming an ageing nation by 2030 when 14% of its population will be aged 60 and over. Population ageing strains the healthcare system due to the rapid rise in non-communicable diseases and poses enormous challenges in providing social protection. Health promotion can ameliorate these twin problems through the active engagement of older adults in the labour force and social activities. This paper used data from the 2014 Malaysian Population and Family Survey (MPFS) to study the factors associated with active engagement in social and economic activities, and the health status of older adults. The survey covered a nationally representative sample of 4,039 older Malaysians aged 60 and over. SPSS was used to perform bivariate and multivariate analyses. About one-quarter of older Malaysians are still working, and three-quarters participate in religious activities, but a small proportion is involved in NGO/community activities and regular exercise. Males are more active than females in all these activities. The majority perceived themselves to be in good or moderately good health. Active participation in social, economic, religious, and physical activities was positively associated with health. Given the relatively low level of labour force participation and social activities among older Malaysians, there is a need for intervention strategies to encourage and facilitate the active engagement of older adults to reduce their health problems and increase self-reliance for a better quality of life.

“…The team represented by SMITH L [11][12][13][14] focused on changes in adults' physical activity levels and mental health during COVID-19 confinement, whereas SEKULIC D's team [15,16] focused on the effects of different environmental factors on adolescents' physical activity during confinement. MAKIZAKO H's team [17][18][19][20][21] studied changes in physical activity, pain management, sleep quality, and health in older people affected by the pandemic. At the same time, the author's collaboration network diagram also shows that there was little collaboration between different research teams due to differences in geography and institutions.…”

Background: Due to the huge impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on a global scale, the level of physical activity during confinement has become a widespread concern. This study summarizes the development of performance and research trends in COVID-19 and physical activity over the last 3 years. Methods: Research publications on COVID-19 and physical activity in the past 3 years were downloaded from the Web of Science database. CiteSpace and VOSviewer software were used to analyze the authors, published outputs, journals, cited authors, countries and institutions, co-cited journals, cited references, and keywords. Statistical and centrality analyses were used to identify the active authors, core journals, basic references, hot topics, and cutting-edge fields. Results: A total of 1331 papers was retrieved. SMITH L was a prolific author in the field of exercise intervention in COVID-19 with 11 publications. International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health was the most productive journal (179 publications) and the most cited journal (1324). The most productive countries and institutions in this field were the USA (322 publications) and Harvard Medical School (21 publications). The four hot keywords in COVID-19 and physical activity research were physical activity, exercise, health, and mental health. Conclusions: This study provides researchers with directions to intervene in changing levels of physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic and valuable information for researchers in the field of sports medicine to identify potential collaborators, collaborating institutions, hot issues, and research frontiers.

“…Data infer that quarantine altered the life habits of older adults, compromising engagement in physical activity, 12 which has been identified as a predictor of improved sleep quality. 6,13 Thus, the objective of the present study was to analyze sleep quality and sleepiness among older adults during social distancing imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic and its association with physical activity.…”

Objectives To assess sleep quality and sleepiness among older adults after social distancing during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its association with physical activity. Materials and Methods The present cross-sectional study included a sample of 290 Brazilians aged ≥ 60 years. Subjective sleep quality and sleepiness were assessed using the Mini-Sleep Questionnaire (MSQ) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Results Of the 290 participants, 29.7% reported worsening sleep quality during the pandemic, with a mean ± standard deviation (SD) MSQ score of 31.6 ± 8.8. Worsening of the perceived sleep quality during the pandemic and previous COVID-19 diagnoses were associated with higher MSQ scores (p < 0.001 and p = 0.013 respectively). Physical inactivity was not associated with sleep quality but was associated with sleepiness (p = 0.030). Conclusion It is important to develop strategies that encourage physical activity, among other modifiable health factors, to help improve sleepiness among older adults.
