Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Frailty is an important clinical state that contributes to falls, hospitalization, institutionalization and death. When an individual simultaneously has many health problems, a frailty "tipping point" may be triggered by even a minor stressful event such as adding a new drug or urinary tract infection. Our research suggests that approximately 23% of Canadians over age 65 are frail, and by age 85 this estimate increases to over 40%. As we learn more about frailty and its consequences, there is an urgent need to develop community-based interventions that will prevent or delay frailty in older adults. Our proposed study will examine if frailty rehabilitation program is an effective community-based intervention to promote healthy aging. The primary objective of our study is to determine if 4-month frailty rehabilitation improves physical function compared with control and exercise alone in community-dwelling older adults living with frailty and sarcopenia. Secondary objectives of our study are to determine if 4-months of frailty rehabilitation can improve functional abilities and reduce healthcare utilization during a 6-month follow-up period compared with control and exercise alone. Results will translate the first Canadian model of frailty and sarcopenia rehabilitation and management.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

In this multi-arm randomized controlled trial (RCT), 324 community-dwelling older adults (aged 65+) with frailty and at high risk for mobility disability will be randomized into one of three arms (control, exercise only, multi-modal rehabilitation) stratified by sex, age and location preference. Rolling recruitment will occur with ten cohorts total (2-3 cohorts per site, n=33 participants per cohort), enrolled across the partner Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) sites.

Building upon the RCT, we aim to understand which components of a functional rehabilitation program are essential to change the trajectory of sarcopenia in older adults and explore the feasibility of a functional rehabilitation program with older adults. All participants will be screened for sarcopenia at baseline. Of the 324 participants, a subset of participants with sarcopenia will undergo additional assessments.

A validated frailty questionnaire can be administered over the phone and will provide an estimate of frailty status.

Stratified block randomization (1:1 randomization ratio) with the allocation sequence generated by a computer will be used to randomly allocate eligible participants to their group assignment. Participants will be stratified based on their sex, age (\<80 or \>=80 years), and location preference. To protect against selection bias, the randomization sequence will be adequately concealed so that investigators/participants are not aware of the upcoming assignment. The proposed duration of treatment is 4-months.

Primary and secondary outcomes will be assessed at 0 and 4-months.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Arm1.Control

Participants randomized to the control arm will not receive any of the Frailty Rehabilitation Interventions. Participants in the control arm will receive Vitamin D.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Control

Intervention Type OTHER

Participants randomized to the control arm will not receive any of the Frailty Management Interventions.

Vitamin D

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

1000 IU of oral vitamin D

Arm2.Group Exercise

Participants will attend the exercise program, twice-weekly, for 4-months with supplemental home exercise.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Group Exercise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A recent meta-analysis suggests 180 min/week of exercise (with a high challenge to balance) is most effective for fall prevention. Combined strength and endurance training performed at a moderate weekly frequency (i.e., two times per week) may promote marked gains on muscle hypertrophy, strength and power gains in frail older adults. Balance training is a key component of successful exercise programs for vulnerable older adults.

Vitamin D

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

1000 IU of oral vitamin D

Arm3.Multi-modal Intervention

Group Exercise/Supplemental Home Exercise: This will be delivered identically to Arm 2.

Nutrition, protein supplementation, and a medication review will also be implemented.
