Systematic Review of Community Interventions for Aging in Place

91 publications representing 85 independent randomized controlled trials synthesize evidence on community-based public health interventions for older adults. The review, authored by Adnan Kisa and published under a CC-BY-4.0 license, analyzed interventions like physical activity programs and cognitive support. Findings suggest multidimensional interventions can support functional ability and independence in later life.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the effectiveness of physical activity programs based on functional ability outcomes mentioned in the description
• Comparing multi-domain intervention models based on the integration of physical, cognitive, and social components
• Assessing methodological quality of trials based on the reported risk-of-bias classifications (45% low, 31% moderate, 24% high)
• Identifying key components of successful aging-in-place strategies based on the thematic synthesis of intervention characteristics

Strengths

• Systematic methodology covering 91 publications from five major databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, PsycINFO)
• Clear outcome categorization into primary independence measures, functional capacity proxies, and psychosocial enablers
• Methodological quality assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist for randomized controlled trials

Limitations

• The dataset is a 37.1 KB DOCX document, indicating a limited scope primarily containing review text rather than raw trial data
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred from the document text
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for quantitative analysis
