- Brief Summary
The purpose of this studdy is to assess the effectiveness of a telegeriatric intervention
- Detailed Description
The patients were recruited from a cohort study in which the participants had previously signed an informed consent in which they allowed contact to participate in new studies, participants who met the inclusion criteria in the original database were recruited and signed an electronic informed consent of the new study. A comprehensive geriatric assessment was generated to assess whether they were candidates even due to changes in health status that could change over time since their last assessment, they were recruited until the expected sample size was obtained, and they were randomized, blinding the participants to belong to the intervention group (individualized care: geriatrics, psychology, physical activity and nutrition) or the control group (orientation in standardized health issues through audiovisual educational material)
