The use of dance to improve the health and wellbeing of older adults: Dataset of inputs (participant characteristics, dance program properties and delivery) and outputs (adherence, safety, health and social outcomes)
  • Description

    Study synopsis: Dance is a promising health resource for older adults, but empirical evidence remains inconsistent. The lack of synthesised evidence regarding program design, dose, and delivery limits understanding of factors influencing participation and health outcomes. The aim of our scoping review (Waugh et al., 2024) was to map the scope, range, and effectiveness of dance programs for older people, and identify gaps and opportunities for future research and practice across dance for health research trials. Searches across five databases (September 2023) identified 148 studies evaluating 116 dance programs (≥4 weeks) for older adults (≥55 years, N=8060). Dance interventions delivered to clinical groups were excluded. Dataset: The dataset contains participant characteristics, dance program properties and delivery, program adherence, safety, and health and social outcomes extracted from all research studies included in the scoping review. Intervention design and delivery were charted against the TIDieR reporting checklist (Hoffmann et al., 2014). Program outcomes included adherence, and safety, and number of positive tests out of all tests conducted across 14 health and social outcome domains. A data dictionary and list of all studies included in the scoping review is also supplied. References: 1. Waugh, M., Youdan Jr., G., Casale, C., Balaban, R., Cross, E. S., Merom, D. (2024).
