Summary

Older adults from ethnic minorities show on average a worse disease risk profile compared to the majority populations. An important risk factor to develop chronic diseases is the loss of muscle mass and functioning, also known as sarcopenia. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed that the combination of adequate protein intake and physical exercise is most effective to prevent the loss of muscle mass, strength and functioning in older adults. However, until shortly, no intervention that included protein and exercise was available that accounted for the special socio-cultural needs of ethnic minority populations. Therefore the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) and ProMIO project group developed a cultural sensitive lifestyle intervention with protein and exercise carried out by dieticians and physical therapists to provide a tailored treatment for older adults from ethnic minorities. This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this new intervention on protein intake, physical activity behavior, muscle mass, muscle strength, function and quality of life. The cost-effectiveness of this new intervention will also be evaluated.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

ProMIO2.0 program

ProMIO2.0 is a lifestyle intervention carried out by physiotherapy and dietetics. They guide and encourage the participants to achieve the following behavioral goals: * moderate/intensive exercise (e.g. walking) for 150-300 minutes per week * Muscle-strengthening exercises 2x a week * Supplemented with balance and flexibility exercises * 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight per day (\~25-30 grams of protein per meal, 4x/day) The combination of consultations, information sessions and on-site training at the physiotherapist should ensure that participants acquire the necessary knowledge, awareness and skills to adopt the health behavior in daily life. Materials such as posters, pedometers and videos are used for support. The intervention is divided into 2 phases, which indicate the degree of professional guidance: 1. intensive guidance (month 0 - 3) 2. average guidance (months 4 - 6)
