Exercise program to prevent weight loss in nursing home residents
This study tests whether a structured physical activity program can help nursing home residents avoid losing weight. Participants will do simple exercises to stay active, which may help them keep their weight and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must live in a nursing home (called EHPAD in France).
- You must be age 65 or older.
- You need to be able to walk about 13 feet (4 meters) on your own -- using a cane or walker is fine, but you can't need another person to help you.
- You must not have unstable heart disease or other health issues that make exercise unsafe.
- You should not be in an end-of-life situation or planning to move to another facility in the next 6 months.
