Summary
This study is testing whether a year-long program of daily blueberries, protein powder, and three weekly exercise sessions can reduce frailty and lower the risk of heart disease in adults aged 65 and older. Researchers will measure fitness, heart function, inflammation, and frailty levels in 240 participants. The goal is to see if combining these lifestyle changes works better than any single approach.
