Summary
This study tested a special educational program designed to prevent and treat frailty in older adults living in the community. Researchers enrolled 235 people aged 65 and older who were already frail or at risk of becoming frail. The program aimed to teach healthy habits to help them stay strong and independent. The main goal was to see if the program could improve frailty scores over 6 and 12 months.
