A Home-based Multicomponent Exercise Intervention Program Based on the Fogg Behavior Model (FBM) for Older Adults With Osteosarcopenia and Frailty

September 23, 2026 updated by: Jiawei Jiang

Construction and Application of a Home-based Multicomponent Exercise Intervention Program for Older Adults With Osteosarcopenia Complicated by Frailty Based on the Fogg Behavior Model（FBM）

This study aims to construct and evaluate a home-based multicomponent exercise intervention program based on the Fogg Behavior Model for older adults with osteosarcopenia and frailty. Eligible participants will be randomly divided into two groups. The intervention group will receive the home multicomponent exercise guidance built on Fogg Behavior Model, while the control group will get routine health education. We will compare frailty status, muscle strength, physical function,bone mineral density and quality of life between the two groups at baseline, 3 months and 6 months, to explore whether this intervention can improve physical function and reduce frailty in elderly patients with osteosarcopenia.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

60 years to 85 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Intervention group

Home-based multi-component exercise intervention guided by Fogg Behavior Model, including resistance training, balance training and aerobic exercise for 6 months. Regular follow-up and behavior reminder will be provided.
Behavioral: Multi-component home-based exercise intervention based on the Fogg Behavior Model

Participants receive a 6-month multi-component home-based exercise intervention based on the Fogg Behavior Model, divided into 3 stages. Stage 1 (Weeks 1-2): motivation cultivation, health assessment, risk screening and health education. Stage 2 (Weeks 3-12): personalized exercise prescription including warm-up, aerobic, resistance, balance and flexibility training, with progressive intensity and regular follow-up. Stage 3 (Months 4-6): habit formation, self-management reinforcement and incentive strategies. The intervention aims to improve muscle mass, physical function and frailty status in older adults with sarcopenia-osteoporosis.
Active Comparator: Control group

Routine health education about osteoporosis and sarcopenia. No systematic supervised exercise intervention.
Behavioral: routine health education and standard nursing care for osteoporosis and regular outpatient follow-up, without extra exercise and nutritional intervention.

Participants receive routine osteoporosis health education and standard nursing care. General advice on diet, fall prevention and daily activity is provided, without the multi-component staged exercise intervention based on the Fogg Behavior Model. Regular outpatient follow-up is arranged.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
