Physical Fitness, Body Composition and Frailty in Elderly People.Exercise Program Effecsts. EXERNET Elder 3.0

Short Physical Performance Battery by Romberg (SPPB): consist of walking 4m, a balance test with three levels (tandem, semi-tandem and stand up on one foot) and sit up and reach 5 times as fast as possible. Each test could point from 0 to 4, reaching a maximum of 12 months in the battery. Puntuation correspond to; 0-4 points the person is not valid, from 4 to 6 frails and form 7-9 pre-frailt

A fitness test battery in order to measured physical performance of elderly, it includes: flamingos test (for balance), 30m of walking speed, 30 seconds of sit and reach (strength of lower extremities), 30sconds of arm curl, 6 minutes test (aerobic capacity), sit-up and go test (agility), flexibility of upper and lower extremities. Results are registered without puntuation.

25-OH Vitamin D concentration in blood test

Fried frailty phenotype criteria; measured by 3 questiones (exhaustion, walking more than 2 or 2,5 jours a week (for men or women)a and to have lose weigth (4,5kg) in the last year), Handgrip and 4,5 meters walking. Those who point 2 or 3 are prefrail and 3 or more frail.

Vascular measure to observed blood circultaion. With a Doppler, sistolic blood pressure measured in brachial arteries (humerus) and unkle arteries are measured. Then, ratio is calculated dividing both results.

5 questions scale asking about; lose a 5% of own weigth in the last year, to have more than 5 diseases between cancer, diabetes, chloresterol, asthma, EPOC, IAM, cardiac insuficiency, arthritis, ACVA, ERC, angina, hipertension), exhaustion in the last 4 weeks ,ability to walk 10 steps without help, ability to walk more than 100 meters without help. Confirm 3 or more items means to be frail.

A descriptive scale about disability and funcional assessments. Is a practical and efficient tool for assessing frailty. It is compound of 9 options describing stages functionality depending on how much help they need for daily activities (1- very fit, 2- well, 3- managing well, 4- vulnerable, 5- mildly frail, 6- moderately frail, 7- severely frail, 8-very severely frail, 9- terminally ill). One option have to be selected.

Questionnaire about how people stablish their relationships between three social dimensions (family, friendship, and acquaintance). The questionnaire consisted of 12 questions which point from 0 to 5, having the high punctuation a positive meaning. Final mark is obtained from de sum up pf every point of each question.

Physical activity questionnaire to assesed daily light, moderate and vigorous physical activities. Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) is a brief (5 minutes) and easily scored survey designed specifically to assess physical activity in persons age 65 years and older. The PASE score combines information on leisure, household and occupational activity. The PASE assesses the types of activities typically chosen by older adults (walking, recreational activities, exercise, housework, yard work, and caring for others. A total of 10 questions using frequency, duration, and intensity level of activity over the previous week to assign a score, ranging from 0 to 793, with higher scores indicating greater physical activity. Contribution of each questionnaire item to the overall PASE score is determined by the product of the sample mean and activity weight

The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) is a short instrument developed to assess insomnia severity Seven questions asking severity of difficulties to falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up too much early, how unsatisfied the person is with his sleep, how affect daily if there is a problem of sleep life. Severity must be pointed from 0 to 4 and the sum up of all question is calculated for the final mark. 0-7 lack of insomnia, 8-14 subclinical insomnia, 15-21 clinical insomnia (mild), 22-28 clinical insomnia (grave)

Questionnaire about urinary incontinence, how it affects they daily life pointing from 1 to 10 (being 10 too much worry) and when it happens. This question does not point, they are only registered.

EQ-5D is a standardised measure of health status developed in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal. It descriptive system comprises the following 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 3 levels: no problems, some problems, extreme problems. The respondent is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking (or placing a cross) in the box against the most appropriate statement in each of the 5 dimensions. The second part of the questionnire records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, visual analogue scale where the endpoints are labelled 'Best imaginable health state' and 'Worst imaginable health state'. This information can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome as judged by the individual respondents. It should be noted that the numerals 1-3 have no arithmetic properties and should not be used as a cardinal score.

Second part of MNA evaluates living arrangements, the presence of polypharmacy or pressure ulcers, the number of full meals eaten daily, the amount and frequency of specific foods and fluids, and the mode of feeding. The patient reports nutritional and health status, and the practitioner determines weight and height (to calculate BMI), and mid-arm and mid-calf circumferences. The maximum score for first part is 14; a score of 12 points or greater means disorders.
