Frailty intervention program

There will be 2 sessions per week for 12 weeks. Each session includes 1 hour exercise (including 5-10 minute warm-up and cool-down routine, 20-30 minute chair-based resistance exercises using Thera-Bands for muscle groups in both the upper and lower body, and 20-30 minutes aerobic exercises); and 1 hour game training using computer video games, board games and card games. Nutrition education will be given to the subjects based on their weight status. The 1st level of nutrition information (healthy eating tips for frailty prevention and management) will be given to all subjects on regular basis during the 12-week study period via short videos, text messages or Whatsapp reminders. On top of the 1st level nutrition information, 3 nutrition heath talks (1-1.5 hours per talk) about weight management will be given to those with BMI \>=25 kg/m2, and/or waist circumference \>=90 cm (male) or \>=80 cm (female) during the 12-week study period.
