Study explores link between frailty and everyday tasks in seniors
NCT ID NCT07415382
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study looks at how frailty and the ability to do two things at once (like walking while talking) relate to everyday activities in older adults aged 60 to 85. Researchers will measure frailty, dual-task performance, and independence in basic tasks like bathing and dressing. The goal is to better understand these connections, not to test a treatment.
