Development of Continuous Assessment of Frailty and Muscle Quality in Older Subjects: ECOFRAIL Protocol

Spain85 participantsStarted 2022-03-01

Plain-language summary

We are conducting a study in different centers in Spain in elderly people, in order to assess the effectiveness of a physical exercise intervention program in people in a situation of frailty. Frailty in an elderly person is a situation in which, although there are no major differences in their usual abilities, the person presents a certain decrease in their capacities. This slight decrease is usually accompanied by a progressive deterioration.
