Abstract
|
|
|
Objective : The purpose of this study was to systematically review studies that have identified the effects of lifestyle interventions in frail elderly living in the community.
Methods : From January 2002 to January 2021, we searched for publications through databases such as Embase, CINAHL, Scopus, and PubMed. Finally, seven papers were selected and reviewed systematically.
Results : As a result of analyzing the effects of lifestyle interventions by dividing the seven studies in terms of the frail and the frail with obese elderly, three out of five and a few of the two study groups of each study showed significant differences between the experimental and control groups. Intervention programs were categorized into physical, dietary, nutritional, and cognitive domains. Intervention in physical factors was the most common.
Conclusion : This study is expected to assist in designing lifestyle interventions for frail elderly living in the community. Further studies should be conducted to provide multifaceted lifestyle interventions including environmental and activity domains in the future. More active participation by occupational therapists in lifestyle interventions in frail elderly also recommended.
