Summary

This pilot study tested whether a 3-month program combining group exercise, medication review, and nutrition workshops could be practically delivered in primary care for frail adults over 65. Researchers recruited 32 participants from two health centers and tracked feasibility, satisfaction, and health measures like mobility and strength. The goal was to see if the program could run smoothly before planning a larger trial.

Active substance

Multi-component intervention: physical exercise, polypharmacy review, and nutritional care

What this could lead to

If successful, this could pave the way for a larger trial testing a practical program to help frail older adults stay stronger and healthier.

What could go wrong

This is a small pilot study with only 32 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The main goal was feasibility, not proving effectiveness.
