Physical disability represents a major burden to health and lifespan, particularly as the proportion of older adults within the United States is expected to grow. Prevention efforts for physical disability targets methods and strategies to decrease modifiable risk factors. Potential challenges for health professionals may exist in synthesizing and interpreting this broad spectrum of literature due to the discipline-specific nuance of language used, practice type or specialty, and lack of interdisciplinary resources. This scoping review will map and synthesize the literature across healthcare disciplines to identify modifiable risk factors and the evidence related to their ability to predict physical disability. We will also draw attention to the possibility of modifiable risk factors for physical disability being operationalized as pre-disability in order to strengthen primary and secondary prevention efforts.
A planned search strategy using physical disability terminology will be searched in English across MEDLINE, CINAHL, Health Source, PEDro, and REHABDATA by two reviewers in line with our review objectives and inclusion criteria. Eligibility for inclusion include peer-reviewed primary research published in the English language and have established a relationship between a person-level measurable characteristic that is modifiable by changes in lifestyle behaviors and any of the commonly accepted terms used to categorize or describe physical disability.
Presentation of results will be using the PRISMA flowchart, with additional mapping and synthesis of evidence for modifiable risk factors for physical disability to clarify divergent terms used in classifying and measuring these factors and their potential for prediction of physical disability.
It is anticipated that this scoping review will identify and highlight a variety of modifiable risk factors for physical disability that may aid primary and secondary prevention efforts for health professionals.
身体残疾对健康和寿命造成了重大负担，尤其是在美国，老年人的比例预计会增加。身体残疾的预防工作针对的是减少可改变的风险因素的方法和策略。由于使用的语言具有学科特定的细微差别、实践类型或专业以及缺乏跨学科资源，健康专业人员在综合和解释这广泛的文献方面可能会面临潜在的挑战。本范围综述将跨医疗保健学科绘制和综合文献，以确定可改变的风险因素及其预测身体残疾能力的证据。我们还将提请注意将身体残疾的可改变风险因素作为残疾前进行操作的可能性，以加强初级和二级预防工作。
根据我们的审查目标和纳入标准，两名审查员将使用残疾相关术语在英语中对 MEDLINE、CINAHL、Health Source、PEDro 和 REHABDATA 进行有计划的搜索。纳入标准包括以同行评审的主要研究，以英文发表，并在个人层面上建立了可通过生活方式行为改变的可衡量特征与身体残疾的常用术语之一之间的关系。
将使用 PRISMA 流程图呈现结果，并对身体残疾的可改变风险因素的证据进行进一步的绘制和综合，以阐明用于分类和测量这些因素的不同术语及其对身体残疾预测的潜力。
预计本次范围综述将确定和强调各种身体残疾的可改变风险因素，这可能有助于健康专业人员进行初级和二级预防工作。
