Enhancing Independence Using Group-based Community Interventions for Healthy AGing in Elders: the ENGAGE Pilot Study — ENGAGE  

Mobility Limitation Clinical Trial

Official title:
ENhancing Independence Using Group-based Community Interventions for Healthy AGing in Elders: The ENGAGE Pilot Study

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will be conducted to determine the safety and feasibility of translating a physical activity intervention (LIFE Study) into a community setting. Study outcomes include physical performance, safety, and feasibility of conducting the LIFE PA intervention in a community setting.

Clinical Trial Description

Older adults who lose their mobility experience a poorer quality of life, are less likely to remain independent in the community and have higher rates of chronic disease, falls and mortality. Recent results from the Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE) study demonstrated that a structured program of physical activity (PA) reduced the onset of major mobility disability in at-risk older adults by up to 28% over a 2.6 year period. Despite the public health significance of this study, to-date no study has attempted to translate LIFE PA to broader populations of at-risk older adults in community-based settings. To address this knowledge gap, and to aid the design of a larger pragmatic trial of LIFE PA in community-based settings, the investigators conducted the ENhancing independence using Group-based community interventions for healthy AGing in Elders (ENGAGE) pilot study. The investigators examined the safety and feasibility of translating LIFE PA into the existing infrastructure of a community-based senior center. The investigators also explored the preliminary real-world effectiveness of PA on physical performance and several other important health related outcomes for older persons, including cognitive function, quality of life, depressive symptoms and frequency of falling. ;
