Exercise and health checks for frail older adults
This study tests whether a combination of tailored exercise classes and comprehensive health assessments can improve strength, function, and overall well-being in older adults who are frail or at risk of becoming frail. You would attend supervised exercise sessions and receive personalized health evaluations at a primary care center.
