What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates the impact of a modified poco-poco exercise program on frail elderly individuals in Bandung, Indonesia. Participants will engage in a multicomponent exercise regimen that includes flexibility, balance, aerobic, and strengthening exercises three times a week for 12 weeks. The study aims to assess changes in global DNA methylation levels, GDF15, and Lamin A COP, as well as overall frailty levels among participants. The findings could provide insights into the relationship between exercise and aging biomarkers in the elderly population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could improve physical health and reduce frailty in elderly patients, enhancing their quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown positive outcomes with multicomponent exercise interventions for frail elderly populations, suggesting this approach is promising.
