Brief Summary

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

To compare the different cardiopulmonary and muscular fitness of community-dwelling older adults on healthy aging, and to identify the optimal cutoff points of their cardiopulmonary fitness and muscular fitness on targeting healthy aging.

Detailed Description

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

At the end of the 20th century, the WHO began to promote the issue of healthy aging. From then on, the Taiwan government gradually attached importance to long-term care and devoted to developing community-based health promotion programs for the elderly. Currently, the programs commonly plan to proceed through the group exercise intervention, increasing physical activity to improve their physical fitness and also to prevent their functional disability. This study aims to compare the different cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular fitness of community-dwelling older adults on healthy aging, and figure out to what extent of cardiorespiratory fitness level and muscular fitness level may achieve healthy aging. The present healthy status of participants will be investigated by interviewing if having any disability or frail. Based on multidimensional model, the definition and measurement of healthy aging status include physiological, psychological and social function aspect. In this study, the health aging status is defined as non-frailty, independence in basic and instrumental activities of daily living, normal cognitive function, absent of depression status, good social relations and good environmental support.
