Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The purpose of this study is to examine multidimensional changes in and correlations among bone density, immune function, muscle strength, gait function, cognitive function, posture, quality of life, lifestyle, psychological and behavioral indicators, and subjective health status through the implementation of exercise and health support programs including the BONE program for middle-aged and older adult women, and to exploratorily clarify the effectiveness, safety, feasibility, and applicability of the programs. The programs may be delivered face-to-face, online, on demand, at home, in facilities, or through a combination of these methods. This study may also include other related experiments, measurements, questionnaires, physical function assessments, cognitive function assessments, posture assessments, psychological and behavioral assessments, and feasibility assessments beyond those listed above.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

The primary outcomes are changes in bone density, immune function, physical function, and comprehensive health-related indicators before and after the intervention. These may include calcaneal indices assessed by quantitative ultrasound, immune indicators such as salivary IgA, lower-limb muscle strength, toe-grip strength, gait speed, posture, cognitive function, and quality of life. Changes in each indicator, between-group differences, and correlations among outcome measures will also be examined.

Key secondary outcomes

Secondary outcomes include physical activity, exercise adherence, lifestyle, subjective health status, psychological indicators, behavioral indicators, cognitive function, posture-related indicators, balance function, flexibility, fall-related risk, free-text responses, satisfaction with the program, sustainability, safety, feasibility, and associations among outcome measures. Other physical, psychological, behavioral, physiological, and social health-related indicators may also be exploratorily collected and analyzed as needed.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants who provide informed consent will be randomly allocated to the intervention group or the control group. Participants in the intervention group will perform exercise and health support programs including the BONE program for a specified period. The programs may include components designed to maintain or improve bone and muscle function, gait function, postural control, physical activity, cognitive function, quality of life, and comprehensive health-related indicators. The delivery method is not limited to on-demand distribution; the programs may be delivered face-to-face, online, on demand, at home, in facilities, or through a combination of these methods. The frequency, duration, and intervention period will be determined according to the study protocol, participant conditions, safety considerations, and feasibility.

Interventions/Control_2

Participants in the control group will not perform the exercise or health support programs including the BONE program specified in the study during the same period and will continue their usual lifestyle or usual activities. Similar to the intervention group, health checks, physical function assessments, immune function assessments, cognitive function assessments, posture assessments, quality-of-life questionnaires, lifestyle surveys, subjective assessments, and related evaluations may be conducted before and after the study period.
