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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 65 or older
- Live in the community (not in a nursing home or other institution)
- Be able to get around by yourself
- You should not have a terminal illness expected to shorten life to under 1 year
- You should be able to move around (not unable to move)

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.
This study follows older adults to understand frailty and dependence over time. It may help improve care for people your age.
This study tests if a program designed for older, frail hospital patients can prevent loss of ability to do daily tasks. It focuses on physical activity, mental engagement, and nutrition to help you stay independent.
This study follows older adults over time to understand how frailty and thinking abilities change together. It may help identify ways to support healthy aging.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program using video games (exergaming) to help older adults become less frail. A family member or friend supports you, and the program is designed to be safe and fun.
This study tests a home-based exercise program using technology (like a smartphone app) to help frail patients get stronger and more independent. The goal is to see if exercising at home can improve your physical function and quality of life.
