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.
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 looks at frailty (a state of increased weakness and lower energy) and what factors are linked to it in older adults (60+) who are in the hospital. By joining, you help researchers better understand frailty, which could lead to better care for older patients.
This study looks at how different factors—like health, mental well-being, and social support—work together to predict frailty in older adults. The goal is to better understand frailty in men and women, which may help doctors provide more personalized care.
This study looks at how a personalized “frailty” checklist can help older adults (65+) understand their health and make better choices. You may be asked to complete questionnaires and a frailty-type assessment to see if the approach works for you.
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.
