Benefits of an educational intervention on functional capacity in community-dwelling older adults with frailty phenotype: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: There is an urgent demand for nurses to expand their knowledge and skills in managing frailty in primary care. Frailty is a multifaceted condition that is prevalent among older adults and often leads to reduced functional capacity. Currently, there is a limited understanding of the effectiveness of educational interventions aimed at improving functional capacity among community-dwelling frail older adults in a primary care setting.

Predictors of Urinary and Fecal Incontinence in Prefrail and Frail Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Study of the FRAGSALUD Project.

Background: Frailty is associated with urinary and fecal incontinence, which are common geriatric syndromes. This study aims to identify health factors associated with incontinence in prefrail or frail older adults living in the community.

Methods: This multicenter cross-sectional study included 225 older adults (75.

Effects of an educational intervention on frailty status, physical function, physical activity, sleep patterns, and nutritional status of older adults with frailty or pre-frailty: the FRAGSALUD study.

Introduction: The prevalence of frailty is increasing worldwide, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing healthy ageing. To address this, cost-effective and minimally supervised interventions are being sought. This study aimed to assess the impact of an educational program on frailty status, physical function, physical activity, sleep patterns, and nutritional status in community-dwelling older adults with at least 1 Fried's frailty criteria.

Associations Between Physical Activity and Inactivity Levels on Physical Function and Sleep Parameters of Older Adults With Frailty Phenotype.

This study investigated the relationship between physical activity, inactivity, physical function, and sleep in older adults with a frailty phenotype. A total of 184 pre-frail/frail older adults were included. Physical activity, inactive behavior, and sleep parameters were assessed using a wrist-worn accelerometer.

Health factors associated with cognitive frailty in older adults living in the community.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the health factors associated with cognitive frailty in frail and pre-frail older adults living in the community.

Methods: A total of 233 older adults meeting Fried's criteria for pre-frailty or frailty were included. Cognitive status was evaluated using the Short Portable Mental Status Questionnaire.

Risk and Protective Factors for Frailty in Pre-Frail and Frail Older Adults.

This study aims to evaluate the differences in body composition, physical function, and physical activity between pre-frail/frail older adults and to detect risk and protective factors against frailty and physical frailty. Fried's criteria for frailty and physical frailty using the short-performance physical battery (SPPB) were measured in 179 older participants (75.3 ± 6.
