简要总结
The goal of this study is to test whether psychological, social, and physical health outcomes of older adults living with type 2 diabetes and frailty are improved when participating in the Band-Frail Program.
详细描述
Individuals considered fragile or frail and living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have a 5-fold increased risk of being moved to a long-term care facility and a 4-fold increased risk of an emergency department visit. In 2013, the Mid-Frail study found that 16 weeks of combined exercise, diet, and education intervention significantly improved functional abilities in older adults living with T2D and frailty.
The goal of The Band-Frail Study is to implement an adapted version of the Mid-Frail program in New Brunswick (NB), while ensuring its sustainability by leveraging existing resources in the future as NB has one of the highest rates of diabetes in Canada and one of the highest average age of residents.
This project will include adults aged 65 years and above living with T2D and frailty across the province of New Brunswick (NB). Participants will meet in groups of 4-8 people twice a week for 16 weeks. One session will consist of diabetes management education delivered by a Certified Diabetes Educator and elastic band resistance training, while the second session will only involve the elastic band resistance training.
Participants will undergo pre- and post-testing including questionnaires, physical function tests, and interviews to assess the viability of this program in the province and determine the physical and psychological benefits.

结局指标
主要结局
Physical Functioning
时间窗: 16 weeks
Physical functioning will be measured using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The SPPB is a three-part standardized test including balance, gait, and chair stand components each scored out of 4 points for a total possible score ranging from 0 to 12 points. A higher SPPB score suggests high levels of physical functioning, while a lower SPPB score suggests functional limitations.
次要结局
