The COVID-19 pandemic led to decreased physical and social activity, poor eating habits, and worsening mental health among older adults, increasing their frailty.
A study involving 111 older adults used a daily task calendar for three months to enhance motor, oral, and cognitive functions, with the intervention group completing specific tasks daily.
While there was no overall difference in Kihon checklist scores between groups, the intervention group showed significant improvements in cognitive function and a reduction in pre-frailty and frailty cases after the intervention.
