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.

Conditions

  • Age-related Cognitive Decline
  • Age-related Physiology Decline

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Multi-domain intervention

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
