About this study

Official title: Combined Exercise and Nutrition Intervention for Sarcopenia in Patients With Hip Fracture: CENTERS; A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to demonstrate the effect of combined exercise-nutrition intervention in old adults with sarcopenia. This study will be conducted with prospectively randomized controlled trial comparing outcome of combined exercise-nutrition intervention with conventional medical care. Handgrip strength, gait speed, knee extensor muscle power, physical performance, muscle mass using DEXA, quality of life, activities of daily living, sarcopenia screening questionnaire, nutritional assessment will be evaluated on baseline, 12-weeks and 24-weeks after intervention

Read the detailed description

The definition of sarcopenia is age-related loss of skeletal muscle and physical functions.

Sarcopenia is emerging health problem and increases medical expenditure as the population ages. Sarcopenia is closely related to chronic diseases and geriatric diseases.

In particular, patients with hip fracture showed a high prevalence of muscle loss and muscle weakness.

It has been reported exercise in sarcopenia patients helped the treatment of the diseases.

Also, it is recently demonstrated that combined exercise-nutrition intervention improved muscle function in elderly patients.

However, there is still not established standard protocol for the combined exercise-nutrition intervention.

Therefore, the aim of this trial is to compare the effects of combined exercise nutrition intervention in sarcopenia patients with multicenter, multidisciplinary, randomized controlled trial.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Combined exercise nutrition intervention groupOther

    Combination Product: Combined exercise and nutrition intervention Combined exercise and nutrition intervention for 12 weeks (an introductory phase 3 weeks, an expanded phase 3 weeks, and a maintenance phase 6 weeks). Exercise intervention (each 60-min session) includes stretching, resistance exercise, and aerobic exercise according to protocol. Nutritional intervention includes investigating dietary habits and calculate insufficient protein intake using Mini Nutritional Aseessment (MNA) and Korean Protein Assessment Tool (KPAT) to provide customized diet and high protein drink.

  • Conventional medial care groupOther

    Conventional medial care Conventional medical care service for 12weeks during intervention period. Usual care includes medical check-up and exercise and dietary counseling. They were given a brochure about exercise and protein rich foods at their first visit.

    The control group patients maintain their usual amount of activity and diet during the 6-month evaluation period. usual activity and dietary habits.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 5-times chair stand test

    Change from baseline 5-times chair stand test to 12 weeks after assessment, measured by 5-times chair stand test

    Measured: [Time Frame: Screening (visit 0), Baseline (visit 1), 12 weeks after intervention (visit 2), 24 weeks after intervention (visit 3)]

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physical performance

    Short Physical Performance Battery [range from 0 to 12 score] The scores range from 0 (worst performance) to 12 (best performance) with higher scores indicating better functionality. It is a group of measures that combines the results of the gait speed, chair stand and balance tests.

    Measured: [Time Frame: Screening (visit 0), Baseline (visit 1), 12 weeks after intervention (visit 2), 24 weeks after intervention (visit 3)]
