The study utilised a mixed-methods approach. Participants were older persons (≥ 60 years) in a selected rural and urban community in Oyo State, south-western Nigeria. Data were collected using 22 Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and an interviewer-administered, semi-structured questionnaire. The discussions were audiotaped, transcribed verbatim and analysed thematically using ATLAS. ti version 8. Selected quotations were used to illustrate themes. The quantitative data were analysed using Stata version 14 at p<0.05.
