简要总结
This pilot study tested whether a new program for older adults with frailty could realistically be carried out in primary health care. That is why the main objective of this study was to evaluate the viability and feasibility of the newly designed frailty intervention.
People over 65 were recruited in two health centers and invited to join a 3 month program combining group exercise, a medication review by a pharmacist, and nutrition workshops. The study also collected information on mobility, strength, nutrition, mood, cognition, and quality of life. Most measures were taken at the start and again four and eight months later.
The results will help refine the program and guide the design of a larger clinical trial.
详细描述
The study assessed the viability and feasibility of a frailty intervention in routine clinical practice through a prospective one-arm pilot conducted in two primary care centers in Donostia (Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Spain). Participants were adults aged 65 or older, functionally independent (Barthel >90) and classified as frail (Short Physical Performance Battery <10), who received a 12-week physical exercise program, nutritional counseling, and a pharmacological review.
