Effects of multicomponent exercise on frailty in long-term nursing homes: A randomized controlled trial

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Mar 25, 2019

Arrieta H, et al. - In 112 men and women aged ≥ 70 years who were residents of long-term nursing homes (LTNHs), researchers assessed how frailty and related adverse outcomes may be influenced by a multicomponent exercise. Eligible study participants scored ≥ 50 on the Barthel Index, ≥ 20 on the MEC-35 test (an adapted and validated version of the Mini-Mental State Examination in Spanish), and could stand up and walk independently for ≥ 10 meters. Participants allocated to the control group participated in routine activities. Individualized and progressive multicomponent exercise at moderate intensity were performed by the intervention group for 6 months. Findings revealed that falls were prevented—and frailty and mortality were attenuated— effectively by individualized and progressive multicomponent exercise at moderate intensity in this study sample.
