Exercise and olive oil for fall prevention in older adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a home exercise program combined with daily extra virgin olive oil can reduce the risk of falls in older adults who are frail or at high risk of falling. It may help improve strength, balance, and overall health.
