Systematic review of interventions for pre-frail and frail older adults: Evidence from clinical trials on frailty levels
Introduction
The increasing global longevity underscores the necessity of effective interventions for older adults. Pre-frailty and frailty affect 54.1 % and 26.3 % of the elderly population, respectively, leading to adverse physical and cognitive outcomes. This study systematically reviewed the effectiveness of interventions targeting robust, pre-frail, and frail older adults in randomized controlled trials, analyzing frailty levels both collectively and individually.
Methods
Following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) methodology and PRISMA guidelines, seven databases were searched for studies published between 2018 and 2023. Randomized controlled trials involving individuals aged ≥65 years were included. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale, with scores ranging from 7 to 10, indicating moderate to high quality.
Results
A total of 3416 records were identified, and 40 studies were included, encompassing 17,822 participants (82.3 % women, mean age: 68–79 years). Physical exercise interventions accounted for 42.5 % of the studies, while multicomponent programs constituted 27.5 %. Improvements in frailty levels were reported in 32.5 % of the studies, with significant gains in quality of life (+15.2 %), gait speed (+0.22 m/s), and muscle strength (+18.7 %). Pre-frail individuals exhibited the greatest responsiveness to interventions, reflecting their remaining adaptability and potential for improvement.
Discussion
Multifaceted interventions were found to be particularly effective for pre-frail individuals, emphasizing the need for standardized criteria for frailty assessment. Geographic variability and inconsistencies in assessment methods were noted. Physical activity emerged as a key component in improving outcomes, with most interventions led by physiotherapists and physical education professionals.
Conclusion
Integrated interventions significantly enhance health and functionality, particularly for pre-frail older adults, underscoring the importance of early and tailored approaches. This study highlights the need for standardized guidelines and multidisciplinary strategies to address the heterogeneity of the aging population effectively.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Gerontology and Geriatrics provides a medium for the publication of papers from the fields of experimental gerontology and clinical and social geriatrics. The principal aim of the journal is to facilitate the exchange of information between specialists in these three fields of gerontological research. Experimental papers dealing with the basic mechanisms of aging at molecular, cellular, tissue or organ levels will be published.
Clinical papers will be accepted if they provide sufficiently new information or are of fundamental importance for the knowledge of human aging. Purely descriptive clinical papers will be accepted only if the results permit further interpretation. Papers dealing with anti-aging pharmacological preparations in humans are welcome. Papers on the social aspects of geriatrics will be accepted if they are of general interest regarding the epidemiology of aging and the efficiency and working methods of the social organizations for the health care of the elderly.
