Sarcopenia interventions in long-term care facilities targeting sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity are independent risk factors for sarcopenia for long-term care facility residents. Understanding the components, mechanisms and context of interventions that target change in these risk factors can help optimize sarcopenia management approaches. This study aimed to identify, appraise and synthesize the interventions targeting sedentary behaviour and physical inactivity, construct a Theory of Change logic model, inform complex sarcopenia intervention development and identify areas for improvement.

Methods

Eight electronic databases, including Embase and Web of Science, were searched for eligible interventional studies from inception until February 2024. Narrative synthesis was used. The Theory of Change was applied to dev
