From the registry
Frail2Fit will explore the feasibility of training volunteers to deliver online nutrition, exercise, and behaviour change (supported self-management) to improve the health of older people after discharge from hospital. The study also aims to explore if the supported self-management is acceptable to older people, their family members and/or carers, and the volunteers. Between 30-60% of older people in hospital lose muscle strength and function (deconditioning) and around 14% of older adults in hospital are frail. Reduced muscle function and frailty increase risk of poor health outcomes, including reduced quality of life, increased risk of hospital readmission and increased risk of mortality. Therefore, intervening to prevent functional decline is a high-priority patient-centred outcome. Current evidence suggest that physical activity (PA) and nutrition interventions are key to maintaining independence and improving frailty status. In response to the COVID-19 restrictions, healthcare and rehabilitation have increasingly turned to virtual modes of delivery, such as telehealth methods.…
