Abstract

This study aimed to systematically examine the relationship between physical health status in middle age and cognitive function. This systematic literature review was conducted following the PRISMA guidelines, with searches such as PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and CINAHL for articles published between 2020 and 2024. The inclusion criteria focused on original studies involving individuals aged 40-65 years, measuring physical health indicators, and evaluating cognitive function. 7 relevant articles were analyzed and narratively synthesized. The findings showed that various aspects of physical health status in middle adulthood were significantly associated with cognitive function. Body composition (BMI, muscle mass, visceral obesity) and metabolic health (fasting blood glucose levels) were consistently associated with cognitive performance and the risk of cognitive impairment. Cardiovascular health, represented by diastolic blood pressure, also affected brain structure and cognitive function. The relationship between physical activity and balance with cognition is variable, but some evidence suggests benefits of moderate-intensity physical activity and mind-body exercises such as Tai Chi. Other contextual factors such as education and early life conditions also play a role in cognitive resilience. In conclusion, interventions targeting weight management, metabolic health, cardiovascular health, and physical activity promotion in middle age have great potential to maintain optimal cognitive function. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm causal relationships and explore underlying mechanisms in more depth.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of technology use in improving health literacy in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The research methodology was guided by the PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive search was conducted in five major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, ScienceDirect), using a combination of keywords related to T1DM, technology (e.g. mobile applications, telemedicine, Continuous Glucose Monitoring, artificial intelligence), and health literacy. Primary studies in English/Indonesian published between 2020 and 2024 were selected based on strict inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were extracted, assessed for quality, and synthesized narratively-thematically. The 7 articles analyzed showed that various technologies, including web applications, simulation tools, serious games, and personal robots, were effective in improving knowledge, self-management skills, and self-confidence in patients with T1DM through access to real-time information and feedback. However, patient digital literacy was identified as a key facilitator and significant barrier to technology adoption and effectiveness. A patient-centered approach is also essential for successful implementation. Although AI (artificial intelligence) shows potential, the accuracy of general generative AI tools in specific medical information still requires validation and professional guidance. In conclusion, technology has great potential to improve health literacy in people with T1DM, but its optimization requires increased digital literacy and user-centered design. Further research is needed for large-scale validation and comprehensive integration of technology in T1DM care.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and map various barrier factors reported in the scientific literature related to the involvement of adolescents (aged 10-19 years) in physical activity. This scoping review method was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. A systematic search was conducted in electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and SPORT Discus, using relevant keywords about adolescents, physical activity, and barriers. Studies that identified barriers to AF in adolescents were included. Data were extracted and synthesized narratively and thematically to identify key categories of barriers. Results are a synthesis of 12 included studies identifying multidimensional barriers that fall into three main categories: (1) Individual/Personal: Lack of motivation, personal preferences, time constraints, self-confidence, and mental health issues. (2) Social/Interpersonal: Lack of family/peer support, parental objections, and group dynamics that influence acceptance. (3) Environmental/Structural/Policy: Lack of access to or quality of facilities, safety concerns in public spaces, cost and transportation constraints, and unsupportive school/community policies. The COVID-19 pandemic was also a significant barrier. In conclusion, barriers to physical activity in adolescents are complex and interrelated, requiring a holistic and multi-component approach. Addressing these barriers requires tailored interventions, support from multiple stakeholders (individuals, families, schools, communities), and innovation in promotion strategies, including digital solutions. Further research is needed to test the effectiveness of interventions targeting these specific barriers.
