Application of frailty screening instruments for older people in Sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review
Background
Frailty and frailty screening of older people is increasingly becoming a global public health concern. The health domains and elements that constitute frailty may differ across different settings. The choice of frailty screening instruments can therefore affect frailty diagnosis and potentially delay interventions. The aim of this scoping review is to explore the application of frailty screening instruments among older people in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Method
Six databases (Google Scholar, CINAHL, SCOPUS, African Journal online, PubMed, and Africa Index Medicus) were searched for literature published between January 2000 and August 2023. Studies that reported on using frailty screening instruments for older people aged 50 years and above in Sub-Saharan Africa were included in the review.
Results
The search across the six databases yielded 362 results. Seventeen studies from ten countries met the eligibility criteria and were included in this review. Seven frailty screening instruments were identified across the included studies. Frailty screening is gaining attention in Sub-Saharan Africa. Majority of the frailty screening instruments were developed and validated in high-income countries. Only one frailty screening instrument was developed and validated in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Conclusion
Considering the impact of frailty on the health and wellbeing of older people, researchers must consider developing and using frailty screening instruments that assess domains that are pertinent to the health and wellbeing of older people in Sub-Saharan Africa.
期刊介绍:
With the rise in average human life expectancy, the impact of ageing and age-related diseases on our society has become increasingly significant. Ageing research is now a focal point for numerous laboratories, encompassing leaders in genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behavior. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) serves as a cornerstone in this field, addressing emerging trends.
ARR aims to fill a substantial gap by providing critical reviews and viewpoints on evolving discoveries concerning the mechanisms of ageing and age-related diseases. The rapid progress in understanding the mechanisms controlling cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival is unveiling new insights into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells, and from energy to oxyradical metabolism, we are witnessing an exciting era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research.
The journal explores the cellular and molecular foundations of interventions that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction. It identifies the underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, shedding light on novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases. ARR publishes articles on focused topics selected from the expansive field of ageing research, with a particular emphasis on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process. This includes age-related diseases like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders. The journal also covers applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention, offering a comprehensive platform for advancing our understanding of this critical field.
