Professionals' Perceptions on Implementing an Adapted Lifestyle Coaching Program for People with Physical Disabilities.

Evidence-based lifestyle coaching programs have been developed to support people with disabilities in adopting healthy behaviors, and to ultimately contribute to enhancing their overall well-being. However, when implementing such programs in new settings, adaptations may be needed to ensure a successful implementation process. This study aimed to explore professionals' perceptions on an adapted evidence-informed lifestyle coaching program (Healthy Habits Coaching) for people with physical disabilities to inform the implementation of the program in Dutch rehabilitation and/or community settings.

Trajectories of intrinsic capacity during ageing: the longitudinal aging study Amsterdam.

Introduction: Intrinsic capacity (IC), as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO), represents an individual's physical and mental capacities across five domains: locomotion, cognition, vitality, psychology, and sensory. As a key determinant of functional ability (FA), IC supports meaningful activities, and its decline predicts FA deterioration. Monitoring IC over time may help detect early decline and guide interventions.

Syndemic processes between non-communicable diseases and HIV within the Kingdom of Eswatini.

Background: Sub-Saharan Africa faces a double burden of disease due to the continued high prevalence of infectious diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis, and a concurrent increase in non-communicable diseases. The co-occurrence and clustering of multiple diseases can cause a syndemic, synergistically interacting epidemics, driven by context.

Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated potential syndemics in Eswatini, by determining geospatial disease concentration and estimating interaction between four diseases and the impact of context on these interactions.
