A scoping review on the implementation dynamics of scaling up a community-based health promotion and exercise program for older adults: opportunities and challenges.
Article in BMC public health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
backgroundAs the global population of older adults continues to rapidly increase, there is a pressing need to address diverse concerns related to their physical, cognitive, and psychosocial well-being. In this scoping review, we aimed to map the existing literature on opportunities and challenges inherent in the implementation dynamics of scaling up a community-based health promotion and exercise programs designed for older adults. The research question is ‘What are the opportunities and challenges of successfully scaling up a community-based health promotion and exercise program for older adults?’
methodsThree databases (EBSCO Host Medline, The Cochrane Library, and Scopus) were searched for articles published between January 2013 to December 2023. Utilizing a three-step screening process, 17 articles describing the opportunities and challenges of implementing a community-based health promotion and exercise program for older adults at scale were selected for inclusion in this scoping review. Opportunities and challenges were categorized through the lens of the RE-AIM (reach, evaluation, adoption, implementation, maintenance) framework.
resultsThe multifaceted key opportunities and challenges identified on the implementation dynamics of scaling up a community-based health promotion and exercise program for older adults across the RE-AIM framework encompassed issues related to engagement, participation, recruitment, accessibility, awareness, inclusivity, evaluation, adherence, baseline predictors, complexity, motivation, responsiveness, partnership, planning, viability, adaptation, optimization, training, infrastructure, resources, stewardship, and retention.
conclusionsAddressing these opportunities and challenges comprehensively is imperative to ensure the successful implementation and enduring sustainability of scaled-up programs of this nature.
