Exercise Program and Protein Intake Counselling for Frailty Prevention in Singapore

Participants in the intervention group will be on a home-based exercise program and go through counselling on dietary protein intake with the aim of achieving prevention of frailty status. Participants will be required to attend the 3 study visits throughout the study period. Research procedures include physical measurements (eg. Weight, height, waist and hip circumference, calf circumference, hand grip strength, blood pressure, short physical performance battery tests), administration of questionnaires on sociodemographics, physical activity, dietary habits, smoking, alcohol, health conditions, health-related quality of life, clinical frailty status and sarcopenia screening. At three months and twelve months, the intervention group participants will see the care coordinators who will check their compliance to the exercise programme and high protein diet, reinforce the interventions.
