Actual (reported)This study explores the effect of mobile health combined with multi-course intervention on frailty, muscle strength, health literacy and nutrition knowledge among the elderly in the community. A longitudinal, repeated test quasi-experimental design was adopted to convenient sampling. Four community care bases in northern Taiwan were selected, and 2 experimental groups and 2 control groups were assigned by computer lottery to participate in the study. 60 in the experimental group and 60 in the control group. The experimental group received the combination of mobile health and multi-course intervention, and the control group only received the intervention of multi-course. The three measurement time points of the tracking effect of the two groups were: before intervention, after 4-times interventions, and after 12-times interventions. The following data were collected in the two groups: frailty assessment, grip strength, lower limb muscle strength, health literacy scale and nutrition knowledge scale. Statistical data were analyzed by SPSS26.0 software. Descriptive statistics include: percentage, mean, standard deviation; inferential statistics include: independent sample t test, chi-square test, generalized estimation model.

Actual (reported)frailty assessment
Study of Osteoporotic Fractures scale was adopted。Include: (1) Weight loss: Loss of 3kg or more in the past without intentional weight loss. (2) Weakened lower extremity function: unable to stand up from a chair five times without support by hands. (3) Decreased energy: In the past week, did you feel that you couldn't get enough energy to do things? If more than two of the three items are met, frailty is defined; if one is met, the pre-frailty is defined; if not met, no frailty.

muscle strength
Grip machine。A practice session is given before the test to ensure that the subject understands the test process. The hand grip strength of the elderly in Taiwan is 26 kg for men and 16 kg for women.

Health Literacy
Mandarin Multidimensional Health Literacy Questionnaire。Each subscale has 4 questions, a total of 20 questions, and each question is scored 1-4 points. After the formula conversion, the score is between 0-50 points. Health awareness level 0-25 is insufficient; 26-33 is limited; 34-42 is sufficient; 43-50 is good.

The experimental group received the combination of mobile health and multi-course intervention. In the pre-test, the experimental group joined the LINE group by scanning the QR code. The LINE messages were nutrition and exercise content, as well as exercise videos. One message each for nutrition and exercise was sent every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, for a total of 12 weeks. The multi-course includes exercise and nutrition, 1 time per week, 2 hours each time, a total of 12 times, and each unit is 50 minutes long. The three measurement time points of the tracking effect were: before intervention, after 4-times interventions, and after 12-times interventions. The following data were collected in the two groups: frailty assessment, grip strength, lower limb muscle strength, health literacy scale and nutrition knowledge scale.
