The LIFE Study - Lifestyle Interventions and Independence for Elders (LIFE)
Based upon promising results from a pilot study among 424 sedentary older adults who were randomized to a physical activity intervention or a successful aging health education intervention, a Phase 3 multi-center randomized controlled trial is being conducted to compare a moderate-intensity physical activity program to a successful aging health education program in 1,600 sedentary older adults who are followed for an average of 2.7 years.
The primary aim was to assess the long-term effects of the proposed interventions on the primary outcome of major mobility disability, defined as inability to walk 400 m.

Detailed Description
As life expectancy in the United States continues to rise, the maintenance of physical independence among older Americans has emerged as a major clinical and public health priority. Efficient and reliable locomotion, or the ability to move without assistance, is a fundamental feature of human functioning. Older people who lose mobility are less likely to remain in the community, have higher rates of morbidity, mortality, and hospitalizations and experience a poorer quality of life. Several studies have shown that regular physical activity improves physical performance, but definitive evidence showing that mobility disability can be prevented was lacking. A Phase 3 randomized controlled trial was needed to fill this evidence gap.
The LIFE Study was a Phase 3, multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) designed to compare a moderate-intensity physical activity program to a successful aging health education program in 1,600 sedentary older persons who are followed for an average of 2.7 years. The primary outcome was major mobility disability, defined as inability to walk 400 m. Secondary outcomes include cognitive function based on the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) and the Hopkins Verbal Learning Test (HVLT); serious fall injuries; persistent mobility disability; the combined outcome of major mobility disability or death; disability in activities of daily living; and cost-effectiveness. Tertiary outcomes include the combined outcome of mild cognitive impairment or dementia, a composite measure of the cognitive assessment battery, physical performance within pre-specified subgroups defined on the basis of race, gender and baseline physical performance, sleep-wake disturbances, dyspnea, ventilatory capacity, cardiopulmonary events, and cardiovascular events.
The physical activity intervention consists primarily of walking at moderate intensity, lower extremity resistance exercises, balance exercises, stretching and behavioral counseling. The successful aging intervention consists of health education seminars regarding health-related matters and upper extremity stretching exercises. This trial provides definitive evidence regarding whether physical activity is effective and practical for preventing major mobility disability. These results will have crucial implications for public health prevention in a rapidly aging society, and will fill an important gap in knowledge for practicing evidence-based geriatric medicine. The study will also yield valuable information concerning the efficacy and effectiveness of physical activity across a broad spectrum of important health outcomes. The study will impact both clinical practice and public health policy, and will, therefore, benefit individuals and society.
The Coordinating Center was at the University of Florida and the Data Management Analysis and Quality Control Center (DMAQC) was at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Major Mobility Disability, Defined as Incapacity to Walk 400 Meters
Time Frame: Median 2.7 years/Average 2.6 years
|
The primary outcome of major mobility disability was defined as the inability to complete a 400-m walk test within 15 minutes without sitting and without the help of another person or walker.
Use of a cane was acceptable.
Participants were asked to walk 400 m at their usual pace, without overexerting, on a 20 meter course for 10 laps (40 meters/lap).
Participants were allowed to stop for up to 1 minute for fatigue or related symptoms.
When major mobility disability could not be objectively measured because of the inability of the participant to come to the clinic and absence of a suitable walking course at the participant's home, institution, or hospital, an alternative adjudication of the outcome was based on objective inability to walk 4 meters in less than 10 seconds, or self-, proxy-, or medical record-reported inability to walk across a room.
If participants met these alternative criteria, they would not be able to complete the 400 meter walk within 15 minutes.

Plan to Share Individual Participant Data (IPD)?
IPD Plan Description
If an investigator outside of a LIFE study team would like access to the LIFE coded dataset, this individual must go through the following steps:
- Request access to the LIFE website for the purposes of submitting a P&P proposal to obtain access to the Coded Datasets by going to the LIFE website (www.thelifestudy.org) and clicking on the button "Request for Non-LIFE investigator Access" and completing the request form.
- Access would be granted to the LIFE website where access to would be provided to the data dictionary, data documentation, and protocol, in addition to the Manuscript Proposal Submission Form.
- A proposal would be submitted (per current guidelines) to LIFE and reviewed through the usual channels.
