Chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases, are a growing public health concern in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) among the older population. The current review aimed to identify the main barriers that impede researchers from sharing research data on the prevention of chronic diseases in older adults living in LMICs). The review included both older women and men from these countries.
Studies were selected from 11 databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Taylor and Francis, Biomedical Central, BioOne, CINAHL, EBSCOHost, ScienceDirect, Wiley Online, and Google Scholar, were then transferred to CADIMA, an online tool for screening purposes, and a total of 1,305,316 studies were identified through a robust search strategy. CADIMA also ensured the quality of all studies in this review. The sampling techniques were performed by selecting and screening studies per this review's eligibility criteria. Ultimately, 13 studies were found to meet these criteria. A PRISMA flow chart was used to map out the number of studies that were identified, included, and excluded.
Five main barriers were consistently highlighted, including a lack of necessary resources (9, 69%), dealing with complex and sensitive research data (2,15%), lack of policies, procedures, guidelines (5,38%), medical big data processing and integration (2,15%), and inadequate ethical considerations, legal compliance, and privacy protection (6,46%). Discussion: By shedding light on these obstacles, researchers can develop strategies to overcome the identified barriers and address areas requiring further investigation. The registration details of this review can be found under PROSPERO 2023 CRD42023437385, underscoring the importance of this review in advancing our collective understanding of chronic disease prevention among older adults worldwide.

包括心血管疾病、糖尿病、癌症和慢性呼吸系统疾病在内的慢性病，在低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）的老年人群中，正日益引起公共卫生领域的关注。本次综述旨在确定阻碍研究人员分享有关生活在LMICs的老年人慢性病预防研究数据的主要障碍。该综述涵盖了来自这些国家的老年女性和男性。
从11个数据库中筛选研究，这些数据库包括科学网、Scopus、PubMed、泰勒与弗朗西斯、生物医学中心、BioOne、CINAHL、EBSCOHost、ScienceDirect、Wiley Online和谷歌学术，然后将其转移到用于筛选目的的在线工具CADIMA中，通过强大的检索策略共识别出1,305,316项研究。CADIMA还确保了本综述中所有研究的质量。抽样技术是根据本综述的纳入标准选择和筛选研究来进行的。最终，发现有13项研究符合这些标准。使用PRISMA流程图来梳理已识别、纳入和排除的研究数量。
一致突出了五个主要障碍，包括缺乏必要资源（9, 69%）、处理复杂和敏感的研究数据（2,15%）、缺乏政策、程序、指南（5,38%）、医学大数据处理与整合（2,15%）以及伦理考量、法律合规和隐私保护不足（6,46%）。讨论：通过揭示这些障碍，研究人员可以制定策略来克服已识别的障碍，并解决需要进一步调查的领域。本综述的注册详情可在PROSPERO 2023 CRD42023437385下找到，这突出了本综述在增进我们对全球老年人慢性病预防的集体理解方面的重要性。
