About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of the Fragicare Exercise Program on Functional and Socio-sanitary Management Parameters
Older people living in their homes and receiving social assistance are at a high risk of suffering functional loss, hospitalization and/or developing disability. This condition is known as frailty. Exercise programs including strength, balance and flexibility training have demonstrated to prevent, delay or even treat frailty. However, participation in this type of exercise programs is very limited in the group of older adults mentioned above.
The present study seeks to evaluate the effects of an exercise program designed to maintain or improve physical function and frailty. The hypothesis is that people who participate in the physical exercise program will maintain or improve their physical capacity, their frailty and psycho-affective status, their quality of life, and generate a lower demand for social and health services compared to those people who do not exercise.
Read the detailed description
Frailty is recognized as a syndrome that encompasses a high risk of suffering functional loss, hospitalization and/or developing dependency, among other adverse health events. It is considered a modifiable factor, capable of being reversed if intervention is made in the early stages of its development. The implementation of multicomponent physical exercise programs has been proven to prevent, delay or even treat frailty. However, participation in this type of exercise programs is very limited in older people living in their homes and receiving social assistance. Social assistance in Spain is recognized as a care and preventive nature service intended to help older adults in a situation of dependency, or risk of dependency, to remain at their homes, offering them the required domestic and personalized assistance that enables their development in their own homes and their integration into the community environment, avoiding situations of isolation. Older people living in their homes and receiving social assistance population is characterized by being particularly vulnerable, since it presents high rates of frail people that are in the initial stages of dependency, which makes them a target to significantly benefit from the effects of exercise.
The approach to tackling frailty has become a Public Health priority at a European, state and regional level, as it affects both the health and social systems in an increasingly aging society. Nevertheless, there are currently no frailty management models in an integrated manner between health and social service systems. In this context arises the FRAGICARE project, which aspires to develop a model of shared health and social management, sustainable in the long term, which promotes the permanence of the older adults in their usual social environment, respecting their lifestyles and preferences. This model is supported by a digital platform uploaded in the cellular, fed by the data collected by the professionals who are in charge of the home care service provided to the dwelling older adults. In the event of a significant change in the conditions that affect these older adults (fall, reduction in functional level, modification of the nutritional pattern, change in the social network, ...), the platform generates a series of alarms that are referred to their healthcare and/or social professional, who will reassess and, if necessary, adjust the care plan. These alarms have been defined by a multidisciplinary group of experts and piloted in a previous project. In this way, the model seeks to provide individualized, continuous and coordinated care between the basic social services system and the health system (primary and specialized care services).
The objective of the present study is to assess the effects of a physical exercise program from a multidimensional perspective, including physical function, frailty status, psycho-affective parameters, and quality of life. In addition, we will also evaluate the effect of the program in the number of alarms generated by the digital platform to the social and health services.
The hypothesis is that people who participate in the physical exercise program will maintain or improve their physical function, their frailty status, psycho-affective capacity, quality of life, and generate a lower number of social and health services alarms compared to those people who do not exercise.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ExerciseOther
The face-to-face multicomponent program entailed:
- Strength training of upper and lower limbs. Familiarization phase included 2-3 exercises of 1-2 series and 8-12 repetitions per session. During the acquisition phase, 2-3 exercises of 2-3 series and 8-12 repetitions at a higher velocity. The resting time between sets lasted 1-3 minutes.
- Balance exercises included proprioception, agility and weight transfer exercises. Difficulty progressively increased by reducing the base of support, by including multidirectional displacements, walking on tiptoe or heels, body-weight transfer, dynamic exercises modifying the centre of gravity, and stressing postural muscles and by sensorial reductions.
- Flexibility exercises: Static stretching maintained during 20-30s carried out at the end of each session.
The Vivifrail exercise wheel corresponding to each participant was given according to their functional level type.
Recommendations for active lifestyleOther
After the baseline assessments, all participants received individualized counseling for following physically active lifestyle and reducing sedentary behaviors. Participants were encouraged to increase the physical activity time and intensity, and to hourly break the sedentary time while at home. The recommendations were transmitted verbally and through written material.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control Group | Other | The control group received general recommendations for maintaining physically active and reducing sedentary behaviors. This was done verbally and through written material. Receives: Other: Recommendations for active lifestyle |
| Intervention Group | Experimental | The intervention group received the same recommendations as the control group. In addition, they participated in a multicomponent physical exercise program consisting of a) 1 face-to-face weekly multicomponent session (Rodriguez-Larrad et al. BMC Geriatrics (2017)), and b) 2 autonomous sessions at home following the Vivifrail program. Our targeted duration of 24 weeks was missed due to the lack of predisposition expressed by some participants, once the recruitment was completed, to continue during summer vacation. Therefore, the intervention was restructured to be carried out in 16 weeks.
Face-to-face supervised sessions lasted 1 hour and included strength, balance, and flexibility exercises (50%-75% of the 1 repetition maximum for strength exercises). The volume, intensity and difficulty of the exercises were individualized based on the initial performance of each participant, and progressed as the participants' physical capacity evolved.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change from baseline Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) total score at 4 months
The SPPB consists of three tasks that evaluate the lower extremities' function: balance, walking speed and sit-to-stand 5 times from a chair. In each task 0 to 4 points can be scored, to obtain a total score between 0 and 12 points. Higher values indicate better function.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Secondary outcomes (17)
Change from baseline Fried's frailty phenotype score at 4 months
Frailty was analyzed with the 5 criteria suggested by Fried: unintentional weight loss, weakness or poor handgrip strength, self-reported exhaustion, slow walking speed, and low physical activity. The presence of each criterion scored with one point, the total score ranging between 0-5 points. A higher score indicates higher frailty.
Measured: Baseline and 6 months
Change from baseline height at 4 months
Height was measured and reported in meters, following ISAK's criteria.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline weight at 4 months
Weight was measured and reported in kilograms, following ISAK's criteria.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline hand grip at 4 months
The grip strength of each hand was measured with a manual dynamometer. This variable is related to the general strength of the subject, where higher values indicate greater strength.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline Eight Foot up and Go (8-FUG) at 4 months
The test measures the time the subject needs to stand from a chair, walk 8 feet (2,5 meters), turn around, get back to the chair, and sit. The longer the time to complete the test, the worse the performance. Leaning on the thighs or the chair is allowed to stand.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline Nutritional state at 4 months
The nutritional state was evaluated using the short form (SF) of the Mini-Nutritional Assessment (MNA). The score of SF-MNA oscillates between 0 and 14. The nutritional state can be classified as normal nutrition (12 to 14 points), potential risk of malnutrition (8 to 11 points), and malnutrition (<7 points).
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline Cognition at 4 months
The Montreal Cognitive Assessment was used to evaluate the cognitive function of participants. It analyzes the following abilities: attention, concentration, executive functions (including abstraction ability), memory, language, visual-construction-related abilities, calculus, and orientation. The maximum score is 30 points; a score of 26 or higher is considered normal.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline Anxiety and Depression at 4 months
Anxiety and Depression Goldberg Scale. The scale is formed of two subscales with nine questions each: the anxiety subscale and the depression subscale. The total score in both subscales goes from 0 to 9, since each question scores 1 point if the answer is affirmative, and 0 points if it is not. In the anxiety subscale, the cut-off point which determines that the participant has a risk of suffering anxiety is 4 points or more, and the depression risk is 2 points or more. In both subscales the higher the score, the higher the risk.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline health-related quality of life at 4 months
European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaire. Participants will self-rate their health on a vertical visual analogue scale (score range: 0-100), where the endpoints are labeled 'The worst health you can imagine' and 'The best health you can imagine'. Higher values indicate better quality of life.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline Meaning in Life Questionnaire score at 4 months
The Spanish version of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire was used. It contains 10 questions that evaluate the meaning of life. The questionnaire has Likert-type options which go from "absolutely false", which scores 1 point, to "absolutely true", which scores 7 points. The total score goes from 10 to 70 points. Higher scores indicate better values.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline Satisfaction With Life Scale score at 4 months
It is a 5-question scale with Likert-type answers of 5 categories that examines de global grade of satisfaction with life. Possible answers go from absolutely untrue (1) to absolutely true (5). A score of 5 to 25 points can be obtained. Higher values indicate better satisfaction with life.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Change from baseline Subjective Happiness Scale score at 4 months
The scale consists of 4 questions. The first three questions include 7 possible Likert-type answers, where the minimum score is 1 (little happy) and the maximum is 7 (totally happy). In the last question, the Likert scale is modified, where the minimum score is 1 (not at all) and the maximum is 7 (a great deal). The maximum score possible is 28 points. Higher values indicate a better score.
Measured: Baseline and 4 months
Sociodemographic information
Date of birth, sex, place of residence, cohabitation model and social network. Any change in those circumstances will be recorded from baseline assessment up to 4 months.
Measured: Baseline and in any moment that any of them might change (place of residence, cohabitation model and social network) up to 4 months.
Number of falls
The number of falls each participant suffered during the program was recorded on a self-reported basis and from Home Care Service's registers. It also included the number of falls in the last 4 months from the Home Care Service's registers.
This was prospectively recorded from the date of baseline assessment until the date of the first documented fall, assessed up to 4 months.
Measured: From baseline assessment up to 4 months
Attendance to the face-to-face exercise sessions
The number of face-to-face sessions carried out by each participant was collected by the trainer in each session.
Measured: From the first session up to the last one during the 4 months
Attendance to the autonomous sessions at home
The number of completed autonomous sessions at home was self-reported. Participants registered them on a sheet, which was delivered weekly to the trainer during the program.
Measured: From the first session up to the last one during the 4 months
Alarms to the social and health care services
Professionals in charge of the home care service provided to the dwelling older adults collected data in a digital platform regarding the health and social conditions of the person they care for. In the event of a significant change in the conditions that affected the older adults (fall, reduction in functional level, modification of the nutritional pattern, change in the social network, ...), the platform generated a series of alarms. These alarms were then referred to the older adult health and/or social care professionals. We assessed the number of alarms referred to the health and/or social care professionals of the participants.
Measured: Daily from baseline assessment up to 4 months

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Older people living in their homes and receiving social assistance are at a high risk of suffering functional loss, hospitalization and/or developing disability. This condition is known as frailty. Exercise programs including strength, balance and flexibility training have demonstrated to prevent, delay or even treat frailty. However, participation in this type of exercise programs is very limited in the group of older adults mentioned above.
The present study seeks to evaluate the effects of an exercise program designed to maintain or improve physical function and frailty. The hypothesis is that people who participate in the physical exercise program will maintain or improve their physical capacity, their frailty and psycho-affective status, their quality of life, and generate a lower demand for social and health services compared to those people who do not exercise.
