简要总结
The goal of this study is to reduce risk of falls and social isolation in older adults age 50+ through participation in community based health and exercise programs.
详细描述
PRIMARY HYPOTHESES: In community-dwelling ambulatory older adults (age ≥50 years) participation in a community-based group program will improve the Duke Social Support Index (DSSI) score by four points measured after six to eight participation in the program when compared to the DSSI score prior to participation in the program. This increase will be sustained at 26 week follow-up.
SECONDARY HYPOTHESES: Participants in the community-based group exercise activities will have decreased fall risk when measured after six to eight weeks participation in the program when compared to pre-participation as based on responses to the fall risk questionnaire. Cedars-Sinai patients who participate in the community-based programs will have a decrease in health care utilization (as measured by physician visits, Emergency Department visits, and hospitalizations) in the 26 weeks after program enrollment compared to the 26 weeks prior to program enrollment.

Change in Social Isolation

The Duke Social Support Index (DSSI) is an 11 item questionnaire with a total score between 11 and 33 with higher scores indicating increased social connection and lower scores indicating higher social isolation.
次要结局
- Number of falls with injury in the past 3 months - Reduce Falls(Items will be measured at Baseline, 8 weeks, and 6 months)
- Number of falls in the past 3 months - Reduce Falls(Items will be measured at Baseline, 8 weeks, and 6 months)
- Change in Loneliness(Items will be measured at Baseline, 8 weeks, and 6 months; assessing a change in loneliness from baseline to 8 weeks and 6 months)
