Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Aim: This study aimed to understand the factors related to older adults’ participation in community health promotion programs. Subject and methods: A nationwide survey of 800 community-dwelling Korean older adults aged ≥60 years was conducted in 2017. The survey collected information on socioeconomic status, health conditions, and opinions on health and care services. Using the social ecological model, factors associated with participation in community health promotion programs were analyzed. Results: We found that only 17% of participants participated in community health promotion programs. Individual (age, residential area, fear of falling, regular exercise, and intention to participate), interpersonal (social participation), and environmental factors (awareness of visiting nurse services, and low access to community healthcare services) were associated with participation in community health promotion programs. Conclusion: To increase older adults’ participation in community health promotion programs, a comprehensive approach that considers individual, interpersonal, and environmental factors is necessary. Supportive policies will improve older adults’ positive attitudes and awareness of community health promotion programs. Future research should consider individual, social, and environmental factors related to various types of community health promotion programs to understand differential associations regarding participation in community health promotion programs.
