About this study
Official title: The Effectiveness of an E-health Brisk Walking Intervention in Increasing Moderate to Vigorous Physical Activity in Physically Inactive Older People With Cognitive Frailty: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Introduction Cognitive frailty is common in community-dwelling older people and is an at-risk state for adverse health outcomes such as dementia, dependency, and mortality. Fortunately, cognitive frailty is reversible, with a higher probability of reversibility at earlier stages. Physical activity is known to play a significant role in reversing cognitive frailty; its effect is moderated by intensity and sustainability. However, physical inactivity is very common in older people and is one of the key phenotypical characteristics of cognitive frailty. Moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) can reduce the risk of worsening cognitive frailty. Brisk walking is a simple form of exercise that can be practised by community-dwelling older people every day to boost their physical activity to or above a moderate intensity level. Conventional behavioural change interventions (CBCIs) have been shown to effectively engage sedentary older people in physical activity, but their effect size is small. The use of e-health methods that adopt existing and popular e-platforms (e.g., Samsung Health and WhatsApp) to promote specific behaviours (e.g., regular brisk walking) in specific groups (e.g., older people with cognitive frailty) is an innovative, practically feasible and theoretically sound method of increasing MVPA. However, the relative effectiveness of e-health interventions and CBCIs in vulnerable groups (i.e., older people with cognitive frailty) is unknown.
Objectives The objectives of this study are to compare the effectiveness of an e-health intervention and a conventional behavioural change intervention in older people with cognitive frailty in improving 1) moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, 2) reducing cognitive frailty, 3) improving cognitive function, 4) improving walking speed, 5) improving functional fitness, and 6) improving physical activity motivation

Methods A single-blinded, two-parallel-group, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial will be conducted in a community setting. Subjects will be recruited from five elderly community centres in Hong Kong. The eligibility criteria will be as follows: (1) aged ≥ 60, (2) cognitively frail, (3) physically inactive and (4) possessing a smartphone. The participants in the intervention group will receive an e-health intervention. Those in the control group will receive a CBCI. Each intervention will last for 14 weeks. The outcomes will be MVPA min/week (primary), as measured by a wrist-worn ActiGraph; cognitive frailty, as measured by an ordinal scale; cognitive function, as measured by the Montreal Cognitive Assessment; and frailty, as measured by the Fried frailty phenotype (FFP). The outcomes will be assessed at T0 (baseline), T1 (immediately post-intervention) and T2 (6 months post-intervention). The investigators plan to recruit 192 subjects. Permuted block randomisation with randomly selected block sizes in a ratio of 1:1 will be used. Only the outcome assessors will be blinded. Four generalised estimating equations will be used to test the effects of the interventions on the four outcomes, which will be the dependent variables. The independent variables will be group, time and [group] × [time]. The level of significance will be set at 0.05.
Significance If the e-health intervention proves to be more effective and sustainable than the CBCI, There will be evidence suggesting that e-health interventions can replace CBCIs in promoting MVPA and treating cognitive frailty in older people in community settings. Further studies could then examine the potential role of e-health interventions in delaying the onset of dementia and dependency.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
E-health enhanced behavioural change interventionBehavioural
Participants will first receive a face-to-face brisk-walking training programme with lectures and demonstrations following a standardized brisk training content. The training will be provided face-to-face at the elderly community centres and parks. Each training session lasts for one hour and is two times per week for two weeks. After that, a conventional behavioural change intervention will begin following a standardized intervention implementation manual and the physical activity amount will be logged by the participants using a logbook. Physical activity counselling will be conducted by a trained research assistant face-to-face at the elderly community centre. Each counselling session lasts for one hour and is once per week for 12 weeks.

Participants will first receive a face-to-face brisk-walking training programme with lectures and demonstrations following a standardized brisk training content. The training will be provided face-to-face at the elderly community centres and parks. Each training session lasts for one hour and is two times per week for two weeks. After that, e-health enhanced behavioural change intervention will begin following a standardized intervention implementation manual and using participants' own smartphones installed with two Apps (i.e., Samsung Health and WhatsApp). The physical activity amount will be logged by the smartphone using Samsung Health. Physical activity counselling will be conducted by a trained research assistant remotely using a smartphone. The remote counselling sessions totally last for accumulatively 1 hour per week for 12 weeks.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| E-health enhanced behavioural change intervention | Experimental | The investigators will administer e-health behavioural change techniques (e.g., automated advice, tele-counselling, digital-tailored advice) on top of the conventional behavioural change techniques (e.g., information provision, goal setting) via digital devices (i.e., smartphone) to promote moderate-to-vigorous physical activity of the participants. Receives: Behavioral: E-health enhanced behavioural change intervention |
| Conventional behavioural change intervention | Active comparator | The investigators will administer conventional behavioural change techniques (e.g., information provision, goal setting) via conventional methods (i.e., face-to-face meetings) to promote moderate-to-vigorous physical activity of the participants. Receives: Behavioral: Conventional behavioural change intervention |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) minute, measured by Actigraph
ActiGraph mounted on the right wrist measures physical movement (i.e., vector magnitude) that counts an MVPA minute when it has measured 4,212.9 counts within a minute. Only at least 10 min of continuous MVPA will be counted as valid MVPA minutes. This variable measures valid MVPA minutes accumulated over 7 consecutive days.
Measured: 14 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
Cognitive frailty, measured by a 6-point scale of Cognitive Frailty
Cognitive frailty comprises six combinations of two components: frailty (robust, pre-frail, and frail) and mild cognitive impairment (yes, no). The scale quantifies cognitive frailty at six levels: 0 for "robust without mild cognitive impairment", 1 for "pre-frail without mild cognitive impairment", 2 for "frail without mild cognitive impairment", 3 for "non-frail with mild cognitive impairment", 4 for "pre-frail with mild cognitive impairment" and 5 for "frailty with mild cognitive impairment". A higher score will indicate greater severity of cognitive frailty.
