Impact of Chronic Disease Control and Aging Psychology on Outcomes of Frailty-Sarcopenia Syndrome in Ambulatory Geriatric Patients

Completed

• Conditions: Ambulatory Geriatric Outpatients at High Risk of Frailty

• Registration Number: NCT02160093
• Lead Sponsor: National Taiwan University Hospital

Brief Summary

Pursuant to our previous longitudinal study (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02073370) in geriatric outpatients cooperated with the Department of Family Medicine, Department of Geriatrics and Gerontology, National Taiwan University Hospital, this study will be conducted to examine the impacts of the specific co-morbidities and ageing psychology on the outcomes of frailty/sarcopenia syndrome. The thresholds of specific chronic disease will be reviewed after frailty being considered in the elderly with co-morbidity condition. In addition, the conceptual framework and corresponding measuring instrument of "mental frailty" will be expected developed.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Operation instrument of mental frailty for older adults	Up to 2 years	The psychological adaptation to aging is a dynamic process. The dynamic process and the Selection-Optimization-Compensation process will have their effect on the actual coping actions in everyday life. The instruments will be set up to evaluate the aging psychology process

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Compare the well chronic disease control and inappropriate condition on the dynamic frail transitions in ambulatory geriatric outpatients	up to 4 years	The records of chronic disease control status of the same ambulatory geriatric outpatients from previous study, "Clinical evaluation, biomarkers and metabolomics of sarcopenia in frail older adults at ambulatory clinics", will be linked to this study.
