Overview

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to know the effect of multicomponent exercise in frail elderly in community to aging hallmarks. The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  1. Do global DNA methylation levels change in elderly people in Bandung after receiving modified poco-poco exercise?
  2. Do GDF15 levels change in elderly people in Bandung after they are given modified poco-poco exercise?
  3. Do lamin A COP levels change in elderly people in Bandung after they are given modified poco-poco exercise?
  4. Does the level of frailty in elderly people in Bandung change after they are given modified poco-poco exercise?

Participants will be asked to do flexibility, balance, aerobic and strengthening exercise included in poco-poco modified exercise three times a week for 12 weeks

Detailed Description

The elderly population in West Java Province with the age category of 60-64 years is 1.76 million people. Experts estimate that 25.2% of the Indonesian population experiences frailty. Frailty can lead to a variety of worsening health conditions. The frailty process is thought to stem from the failure of various mechanisms associated with markers of aging. Markers of aging are divided into three categories: primary, antagonistic and integrative. Biomarkers representing these three categories are global DNA methylation, GDF15 and Lamin A COP. Multicomponent exercise is the most effective intervention in elderly with frailty. Elderly people in West Java on average only have an education equivalent to junior high school (SMP), so activities that promote physical activity are better focused on health activities in the community. The poco-poco exercise that is currently commonly practiced almost fulfills the rules of multicomponent exercise for frailty elderly, but poco-poco exercise does not have a muscle strengthening exercise component, so a modified poco-pcoco exercise was created to fulfill this method.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change From Baseline in Level of Global DNA Methylation in 12 Weeks

Time Frame: week 0 and week 12

Global DNA Methylation will be measured twice using ...

Change From Baseline in Level of Growth Deficiency Factor (GDF15) in 12 Weeks

Time Frame: week 0 and week 12

GDF15 will be measured using blood plasma with Enzyme Linked Immuno Assay (ELISA), expected GDF value that show improvement that it will be decreased

Change From Baseline in Level of Lamin A (Cyclic Osteo Progenitor) COP in 12 Weeks

Time Frame: week 0 and week 12

Lamin A COP will be measured with flow cytometry from Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMC), the value that shows improvement has a lesser lamin A COP population

Change From Baseline in Level of Frailty in 12 Weeks

Time Frame: week 0 and week 12

Level of Frailty is measured using Fried's Frailty Phenotype with range 1-5 with 5 is the worst level of frailty. Fried's frailty measured with five components that are unintentional weight loss, muscle weakness, exhaustion on activity, slow gait and low physical activity.
