Study frailty and fitness changes in older adults living at home
This study looks at how “frailty” (lower strength and resilience) and “pre-frailty” change over time in older adults who live at home. It may help researchers understand what factors affect aging and strength, so future care can start earlier.

Exercise training before surgery for older adults with low fitness
This study tests a pre-surgery “exercise and health training” program for older adults who are having major surgery and are already less fit than expected. It aims to help people tolerate surgery better and reduce complications by improving fitness beforehand.
Bern, Canton of BernAges 65 years+ - NCT05993754Recruiting

Amiens, PicardieAges 75 years+ - NCT05635877RecruitingPhase 4
Low-dose heart-rate medicine after surgery in frail older adults
This trial tests whether a low dose of esmolol (a short-acting heart-rate medicine) can reduce heart muscle injury after non-heart surgery in older, frail people. It may help lower the chance of heart-related complications around the time of surgery.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65–90 - NCT03209414Recruiting
Study of frailty in heart patients receiving heart care
This trial looks at “frailty,” meaning reduced strength and resilience, in older adults with coronary artery disease who are getting heart care. It may help doctors better understand which patients are more at risk and how care decisions could be improved.
