Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a combined exercise-nutrition intervention in primary clinics on sarcopenia indices, physical function, and quality of life in community-dwelling older adults with possible sarcopenia.

Detailed Description

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

This study will investigate the effects of a 12-week combined exercise-nutrition intervention by comparing it with a control group receiving standard care (usual care) by assessing the sarcopenia indicators, functional recovery, and individual satisfaction. This is an interventional clinical study designed to recruit subjects, analyze data, identify problems, find improvement areas, and explore potential solutions.

Study Groups

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

Experimental group

1. Exercise interventions

* Visiting the primary clinic twice a week and exercising at home once a week for a total of 6 weeks during the introductory and expanding period, and then visiting the primary clinic once a week and exercising at home twice a week for 6 weeks during the maintenance period
* For exercise intervention, the researcher visits the primary clinic and conducts it face-to-face
* Flexibility and strength Exercises: Up to 4 group exercises under the guidance of researchers, up to 40 minutes scheduled
2. Nutritional interventions

* Evaluate nutritional status through Mini Nutritional Assessment(MNA) survey at the time of Visit 1
* Supplementary protein products are provided only for the malnourished group and at risk group with a MNA score of 23.5 or lower
* Supplementary protein products: 'Mediwell', healthy five-grain flavor, liquid 150 ml, 150 kcal, 20g carbohydrates, 2g sugars, 8g protein, 5g fat

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Experimental group

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

1. Exercise interventions

* Measuring blood pressure and weight: before starting exercise
* Flexibility exercises: 5-10 minutes of stretching
* Strength exercises: Consists of 4 upper body exercises (Biceps Curl, Dips, Front raise, Chest press) and 5 lower body exercises (Leg lateral rotation, Leg extension, Hip abduction, Squat, Heel raise). The intensity of the band starts according to the subject's muscle strength.
* Aerobic exercise: 5 times a week, home-based, 30 minutes or more each time
2. Nutritional interventions

* Well nourished: Overall diet check and correction
* at risk: Correction of diet and intake of up to 2 packs of supplemental protein products per day
* Malnourished: Correction of diet and intake of up to 3 packs of supplemental protein products per day
* Nutrition counseling is provided at the beginning of the intervention and high-protein diet composition education is provided
* Confirm compliance and provide feedback once every 2 weeks

Control group

* Control group: Providing only video and educational materials without intervention (12 weeks)
* Videos and educational materials are provided to both the experimental group and the control group for home exercise.
* Subjects write flexibility exercises, strength exercises, aerobic exercises, and meal diaries at home.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
