Summary

This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of olfactory stimulation and/or multicomponent physical training in adults aged 60 years and older. Eligible participants will be cognitively normal, community-dwelling outpatients recruited from Primary Care and Geriatrics services. After baseline assessment, participants will be randomized to one of four groups: usual care, olfactory training/stimulation, multicomponent physical exercise, or combined olfactory and exercise intervention.

Primary and secondary assessments will include olfactory function, cognition, physical function, quality of life, nutritional status, mood, frailty, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, blood-based molecular biomarkers, and exhaled-air biomarkers.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Olfactory stimulation

Participants assigned to this group will undergo a structured olfactory stimulation program aimed at improving or maintaining olfactory and cognitive function through repeated and exposure to selected odors over the intervention period.

OTHER

Multicomponent physical training

Participants in this group will take part in a multicomponent physical training program including exercises targeting strength, balance, and aerobic capacity, adapted to older adults and conducted following established safety guidelines.

OTHER

Combined olfactory stimulation and multicomponent physical training

Participants assigned to this group will receive a combined intervention consisting of both the olfactory stimulation program and the multicomponent physical training program, delivered concurrently during the study period.
