Clinical Trial Summary

This study aims to guide older people living in the community on appropriate strategies within a fall prevention program. This program is aimed at training in physical exercises carried out through group workshops or at preventing risk situations at home.

Description:

Two-arm, non-blind, non-inferiority experimental design. Multicenter, randomized trial.

The study tries to assess whether a group intervention following the principles of the LiFE program is no less effective than individual intervention in reducing the incidence of falls.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Incidence of falls	Number of falls in relation to the degree of physical activity	6 months
Primary	Physical activity	It will be evaluated with a digital pedometer	9 days
Primary	Cost-effectiveness	Evaluated by the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio	6 months
Primary	Health effects	They are measured using quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) based on the EQ-5D-5	6 months
Secondary	Fear of falling	It will be assessed using the Short Falls International Scale of Efficacy. This scale measures of "concerns about falling". This scale has 7 items with a Likert scale with 4 options: 1) not at all concerned, 2) somewhat concerned, 3) fairly concerned, and 4) very concerned.	6 months
Secondary	Adherence to exercise	It will be assessed using the Exercise Adherence Rating Scale (EARS). This scale is composed of 16 items and they were scored using a 5-point Likert scale (0 = completely agree to 4 = completely disagree) with a possible summed score range from 0 to 64.	6 months
