Objectives

Narrative objectives1

Frailty, characterized by decreased muscle strength and physical activity, has been reported to significantly increase the risks of falls, disability, hospitalization, and mortality (Fried et al., 2001). It is also associated with depression and cognitive decline, leading to reduced quality of life (QOL). Although frailty is potentially reversible, delayed intervention may result in progression to sarcopenia and disability.
Oral frailty (OF) refers to a state of impaired oral function, including eating and swallowing, which can lead to malnutrition. As a precursor to physical frailty, OF may progress to systemic frailty if left untreated. Therefore, early intervention at the OF stage is essential; however, the physical characteristics associated with OF remain unclear.
This study aims to identify factors associated with OF from a multidimensional perspective, including physical function as well as pain and sleep disturbances. In addition, exercise-based interventions will be provided, and participants will be evaluated every six months to longitudinally examine their effects on the prevention and improvement of OF.

Interventions/Control_1

After the baseline assessment, participants will receive interventions primarily consisting of educational lectures on oral frailty and frailty (using videos and slides) as well as exercise guidance (including demonstrations and printed materials).
Subsequently, the same assessments will be conducted every six months to longitudinally examine changes in oral frailty and related factors, as well as the effects of the intervention.
