About

The study has been designed to analyze the possible positive effects of a multicomponent physical exercise program monitored with an integrated electronic device system in dwelling-community frailty older adults.

The study will assess changes in physical, nutritional, cognitive, and psychological aspects after program finishes at six months.

Information will be collected by researchers at baseline, monthly and after study finishes.

Full description

The aging process is associated with physiological changes that determine a decrease in functional reserve and limit the ability to respond to external factors.

Likewise, aging is associated with a deterioration of the regulatory processes that maintain the functional integration of the different organs and systems. A direct consequence of this phenomenon is the atypical presentation of highly prevalent diseases in the elderly. This atypical presentation of diseases in the elderly is responsible for the so-called geriatric syndromes, considered as specific nosological entities with a high frequency of presentation in the elderly, being included within the prevention, diagnosis and treatment strategies of geriatric medicine.

These syndromes can generate greater morbidity and consequences, sometimes more serious than the disease that produces them. Its systematic detection should be included in the anamnesis of the clinical history of the elderly. Geriatric syndromes are a group of conditions usually caused by the conjunction of diseases with a high prevalence in the elderly and which are the frequent origin of functional or social disability in the population. They are the manifestation of many diseases, but they are also the beginning of many other problems that we must take into account from their detection to establish a good prevention of them.

The hypothesis of this work is that in frail and pre-frail older adults who participate in an integrated program of multicomponent physical exercise tutored by means of an app will improve their functional situation and reverse their diagnoses of pre and frailty.
