Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (7)

• Physiological health: non-frailty

  SOF index (study of osteoporotic fracture index). Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 3. Non-frailty is defined as the score less than 2 points.

  once follow up at 2-4 years after community-based health promotion programs

• Physiological health: independence in basic activities of daily living

  Katz ADL index (Katz index of independence in activities of daily living). Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 6. Independence in basic ADL is defined as that score 0 point.

  once follow up at 2-4 years after community-based health promotion programs

• Physiological health: independence in instrumental activities of daily living

  Lawton IADL scale (Lawton scale of instrumental activities of daily living). Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 8. Independence in IADL is defined as that score 0 point.

  once follow up at 2-4 years after community-based health promotion programs

• Mental health: normal cognitive function

  MoCA (Montreal cognitive assessment). Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 30. Normal cognitive function is defined as score above 24.

  once follow up at 2-4 years after community-based health promotion programs

• Mental health: absent of depression status

  GDS-15 (short form geriatric depression scale). Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 15. Absent of depression status is defined as score less than 5.

  once follow up at 2-4 years after community-based health promotion programs

• Social function: good social relations

  WHOQOL-BREF (WHO Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire). Minimum value is 4 and maximum value is 20. Good social relations is defined as score above 15.

  once follow up at 2-4 years after community-based health promotion programs

• Social function: good environmental support

  WHOQOL-BREF (WHO Quality of Life-BREF questionnaire). Minimum value is 4 and maximum value is 20. Good environment support is defined as score above 15.

  once follow up at 2-4 years after community-based health promotion programs
