Assessment Tools, Interventions, and Biopsychosocial Factors Associated With Physical Activity in Older Adults: A Scoping Review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: The global aging of the population highlights the urgent need to monitor and promote physical activity (PA) among older adults. A multidimensional understanding, encompassing assessment, promotion, and biopsychosocial factors associated with PA, is essential for healthy aging. Objectives: To map and synthesize the available evidence on PA assessment instruments, intervention strategies, and biopsychosocial factors associated with PA in adults aged 60 years and over. Methodology: A scoping review was conducted following the JBI methodology and PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The search included validated and nonvalidated questionnaires, PA promotion interventions, and biopsychosocial factors associated with PA (clinical, psychological, and social domains) in studies published between 2019 and 2026 across community, clinical, and residential settings. Results: A total of 51 studies were included, showing substantial heterogeneity in sample size, objectives, clinical status, and settings. Twenty different instruments were identified (e.g., PASE, IPAQ, CHAMPS, and VREM), most of them validated. The majority of studies involved populations aged ≥ 65 years and were conducted in the United States, Canada, Australia, and China. Among the biopsychosocial factors associated with PA, frailty (6.45%), cognitive decline (6.45%), and chronic conditions (6.45%) were prominent. Lifestyle-related factors such as sedentary behavior (11.8%), nutrition (5.37%), and participation in PA programs (16.13%) were also frequent. Outcomes included activities of daily living (9%), quality of life (8.6%), and levels of dependency (6.45%). Intervention-based studies were less frequently identified compared to observational and methodological studies. Conclusion: This review highlights the importance of promoting PA to improve functional capacity and quality of life in older adults. Although a wide range of validated tools is available, their application varies depending on context. The limited presence of intervention studies indicates a need for further research focused on structured, multicomponent programs tailored to individual needs within a biopsychosocial framework.
