Meal Delivery and Exercise (NCT04906759)
A Meal Delivery and Exercise Intervention to Increase Resilience in Homebound Older Adults
๐ฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of a home-based exercise program administered through Meals on wheels (MOW) on gait speed and frailty status and to assess the association between novel serum biomarkers (70 kilodalton heat shock proteins (HSP70),Macrophage Inflammatory Proteins(MIP1b), soluble IL-6 receptor alpha-chain (sIL-6R)) and established but non-specific frailty biomarkers (Interleukin 6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-ฮฑ)) in frail and prefrail homebound older adults before and after the exercise intervention.
