简要总结
The purpose of this community-engaged project is to examine how taking part in different arts (dance & music), compared to control (no arts) affects older adults' Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL using the Short Form-20(SF) form), physical performance (Short Physical Performance Battery-SPPB), cognition (using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-MoCA), social engagement (National Social Life, Health, & Aging Project-NSHAP survey), and perceptions of self (focus interviews).
详细描述
In this Randomized-Controlled-Trial, 60 adults (20/condition) will take part in 20, 45-minute sessions (ballroom dance, ukulele/guitar playing, or control- i.e. social conversation), 2 times/week for 10 weeks.
While the investigators know that arts participation improves function in older adults, exact effects of different arts programs on health outcomes remains unclear.
The investigators plan to fill this gap by studying how different arts participation affect health outcomes.
The overall aim is to study how arts engagement helps older adults remain active and influences physical, psychological, and emotional functioning.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Physical Performance using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB)
时间窗: Pre (Week 0), Post 1 (Week 10) and Post 2 (Week 15) Intervention
The Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) is an assessment tool for evaluation of lower extremity functioning in older persons. In this tool, participants will perform the 3 SPPB components: 1) Ability to stand for 10 sec with feet in 3 different positions (together side-by-side, semi-tandem, and tandem), 2) Two timed trials of a 4-m walk (fastest recorded), and 3) Time to rise from a chair five times. The subtests are scored from 0-4. The overall SPPB is scored from 0 (Minimum) to 12 (Maximum score) with higher scores indicating better lower extremity function.
次要结局

- Change in Cognition using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) survey(Pre (Week 0), Post 1 (Week 10) and Post 2 (Week 15) Intervention)
- Change in Self-Perception Post Intervention Focus Interview(Post 1 (Week 10) and Post 2 (Week 15) Intervention)
