Brief Summary
The primary goal is to develop a multidomain intervention program focused on preserving global or regional brain volume and functions while simultaneously improving physical mobility and cognitive functions in older individuals with mobility frailty. This initiative seeks to unravel the brain-muscle axis mechanisms contributing to the accelerated functional declines observed in older populations. Moreover, our objective includes examining the relationships between the intervention and a broad spectrum of clinical characteristics, phenotypic traits, biochemical profiles, myokines, proteomics, metabolomics, brain imaging, and our previously identified discoveries involving exosomal miRNA.

Study Arms (2)
Usual care group
NO INTERVENTIONProvide conventional health educations in every three-month interval
Multidomain intervention group
EXPERIMENTALThe multidomain intervention program is designed as structural training sessions of 2-hour training sessions two times per week.
Interventions
Each session comprises of 45 minutes physical fitness activities targeting on muscle strength, balance, and flexibility; 1-hour cognitive training primarily on reasoning and memory exercises; and 15-minute for nutritional advices based on national diet guidelines for older adults
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- aged ≥ 65 years
- slow gait speed (\<1 m/s in 6-meter walk test) or weakness (dominant handgrip strength \<28 kg in men, \<18 kg in women)
You may not qualify if:
- established diagnosis of dementia, Parkinsonism or other mobility-limiting, disable conditions
- active, acute diseases receiving treatment, such as cancer, heart failure, COPD and so on
- estimated life expectancy \<12 months
- current nursing home residents
