Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

Participants aged 60–85 with osteosarcopenia and frailty are randomly assigned to either a home-based multicomponent exercise program guided by the Fogg Behavior Model or routine health education. The trial compares frailty status, muscle strength, physical function, bone mineral density, and quality of life at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months. The intervention emphasizes adherence strategies and behavior-driven engagement at home, with standard nursing care and follow-up. No additional nutrition or separate exercise programs are included beyond the designed intervention. Locations are Nantong First People’s Hospital in Nantong, Jiangsu."
