Abstract

Objectives: The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of a treatment for community-dwelling older adults on physical frailty, anxiety, and depression.

Methods: The sample consisted of 28 participants, of whom 85.71% were female and 14.29% were male. An initial evaluation (T0) was conducted in early 2023, followed by an intervention program from March to October 2023, which included weekly workshops on physical activity, cognitive functions, arts, digital literacy, and well-being. A reevaluation (T2) was carried out between November and December 2023 to assess the program's impact.

Results: The main results of the study showed significant improvements in anxiety, depression, and physical frailty between the two measurements.

Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of intervention programs for addressing physical and psychological frailty in older individuals. Clinical implications: it includes the importance of implementing comprehensive interventions that combine physical activity, mental well-being, cognitive stimulation, and emotional support to effectively address and reduce anxiety, depression, and physical frailty in older adults, thereby promoting overall health and quality of life.
