A Health Promotion Program to Prevent Frailty & Improve Frailty Status

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Prevention of frailty is a major concern in geriatrics due to its high prevalence and various adverse health outcomes among elderly population. This two phases of study aims to develop, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional education and exercise intervention among pre-frail Malaysian elderly. In the first phase of the study, the frailty intervention module and educational materials (flipchart, PowerPoint slides, booklet and posters) for the frailty intervention program will be developed based on extensive literature review and discussions with research group (dietitians, nutritionists, physiotherapists and medical doctor). The module will be developed to provide knowledge and skills to health practitioners in order to conduct the program towards pre-frail elderly, while the educational materials will aid health practitioners and the elderlies in teaching and learning process respectively. Evaluation for acceptability of frailty intervention module and educational materials will also be conducted in phase 1 study. The second phase of the study will be a three- month (12 weeks), single-blind, two-armed, cluster randomised controlled trial (cluster RCT) research to evaluate the effects of combined nutritional education and exercise intervention among pre-frail elderly in PPR flats Kuala Lumpur. Screening of the pre-frail status among the elderly in PPR flats Kuala Lumpur will be conducted in order to recruit subjects who match the inclusion criteria to join the intervention program. Evaluation will be performed during pre-intervention (1 week before intervention starts), post-intervention (3 month immediate after intervention starts) and 3-month follow-up (3 months after post-intervention). The frailty intervention includes both nutritional education and low-intensity exercise intervention. Generally, respondents in the intervention group will received the developed educational materials and participate in healthy eating talk, group diet counselling, multicomponent exercise sessions. In short, the interventions being examined will provide major potential benefits to the older population in terms of preventing transition to frailty and potentially reduce adverse health outcomes.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
