Older adults engage in increased amounts of sedentary behavior (SB), which can result in a significant decline in muscle function and overall health. An understanding of the motivational driving factors that lead older adults to engage in SB can help to create effective intervention programs.

Understanding long-term retention rates and complications associated with different materials for fabricating pediatric crowns for primary teeth is crucial for material selection and optimizing clinical outcomes.

Physical activity and appropriate nutrition are essential for older adults. Improving physical health and quality of life can lead to healthy aging.

Aedes aegypti is an important vector that transmits dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever viruses. Although research on Aedes aegypti has been conducted for decades, scientometric studies on Aedes aegypti are scarce, are limited to regions, and cover short periods. Thus, there is still a knowledge gap in the current trend, research focuses and directions, leading authors and collaboration, journal and citation impacts, countries, and worldwide collaborations.

Thus, a better understanding of long-term behavior change interventions for stroke patients is needed, as well as how such interventions can support not only rehabilitation of motoric functions but also mental well-being.

Mobile health (mHealth) applications are increasingly used for health promotion, particularly for managing noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) through behavior modification. Understanding the factors associated with successful weight loss in such interventions can improve program effectiveness.

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) represents a complex and multifaceted health condition characterized by a clustering of interconnected metabolic abnormalities, including central obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Effective management of MetS is crucial for reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes.

Electronic immunization registries (EIRs) are being increasingly used in low- and middle-income countries. In 2022, Indonesia’s Ministry of Health introduced its first EIR, named Aplikasi Sehat IndonesiaKu (ASIK), as part of a comprehensive nationwide immunization program.
