Rural-urban differences of sarcopenia and spinal health in the older women: a comparative observational study
CONCLUSION: Older women in rural areas had greater handgrip strength and vocational participation rates but lower back extensor strength and exercise participation rates. Therefore, more attention is needed for healthcare services to support their spinal health and exercise habits.PMID:37793996 | DOI:10.22605/RRH8058 (Source: Rural and Remote Health)

Evaluation of self-measured blood pressure monitoring in a southern rural West Virginia health system
CONCLUSION: Systematic implementation of remote BP monitoring, when integrated into clinician workflows, was associated with a substantial reduction in the number of patients with uncontrolled hypertension in this rural federally qualified health center. Further, CCHS was successful in implementing a remote SMBP monitoring program in a community challenged with transportation insecurity, and poor cellular and broadband access, of which lessons learned are applicable to other health systems interested in pursuing comparable efforts.PMID:37786248 | DOI:10.22605/RRH8248 (Source: Rural and Remote Health)

Development, implementation, and evaluation of a local community-based ophthalmology sentinel surveillance system in a remote rural area in Japan
CONCLUSION: The present results indicate that OSSS-Isa has high simplicity, data quality, acceptability, timeliness, and stability, which is highly embedded with the local healthcare providers in Isa city. OSSS-Isa contributed to the early and accurate detection of signs of infectious eye disease outbreaks emerging in a small remote rural local community. The success factors seem to include its simple well-designed implementation methods, good external factors, and active human factors suited to the characteristics of the small remote rural community. The OSSS-Isa initiative appears to be a meaningful practical example of ...

Massive testing in the Galapagos Islands and low positivity rate to control SARS-CoV-2 spread during the first semester of the COVID-19 pandemic: a story of success for Ecuador and South America
CONCLUSION: This story of success was possible because of the interinstitutional collaboration between the regional government of Galapagos Islands (Consejo de Gobierno), the local authorities (Gobiernos Autonomos Descentralizados de Santa Cruz, San Cristobal and Isabela), the regional authorities from Ecuadorian Ministry of Health, the Agencia de Regulación y Control de la Bioseguridad y Cuarentena para Galápagos and Universidad de Las Américas.PMID:37748777 | DOI:10.22605/RRH7643 (Source: Rural and Remote Health)
