Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients01:15

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

23
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Digital Health Interventions
  • Exercise Science

Background:

  • Falls are a significant health concern for adults aged 65 and older, with approximately one-third experiencing falls annually.
  • Exercise interventions are proven effective in mitigating fall risk and reducing fall rates in this demographic.
  • Age Bold Inc. launched the Bold Fall Prevention Program in 2020, utilizing a digital, remotely delivered exercise approach to address falls in older adults.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a feasibility study assessing the remote delivery of the Bold Fall Prevention Program.
  • To evaluate the program's impact on annualized fall rates and weekly physical activity (PA) over a 6-month period.

Main Methods:

  • Recruitment of older adults at high risk for falls through nationwide digital advertising.
  • Remote data collection via self-reported surveys at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months.
  • Calculation of changes in annualized fall rate and weekly minutes of PA.

Main Results:

  • Remote recruitment, enrollment, and data collection for the digital fall prevention program were feasible.
  • Participants demonstrated engagement with on-demand video exercise classes and online surveys.
  • Among survey completers, weekly PA increased by 182% and annualized falls decreased by 46%.

Conclusions:

  • The Bold Fall Prevention Program is a feasible strategy for increasing physical activity in older adults.
  • The program effectively contributes to reducing the incidence and impact of falls among the elderly population.
  • Remote digital delivery models show promise for scalable and accessible fall prevention interventions.
