Development of Frailty Prevention Clinic in Geriatric Comprehensive Clinic RSCM: The Role of Resistance Training as Sarcopenia and Frailty Management Towards Frailty Score, Sarcopenia Score, and Quality of Life

There is an increasing number of elderly population, not only in Indonesia, but also in the world. With increasing of age, there is also an increasing number of elderly with sarcopenia and frailty. Both of the diseases can lead to dependency, decrease quality of life, and morbidity. Besides nutrition, physical activity, especially resistance training is proven to be beneficial in improving sarcopenia and frailty condition.

Currently in Cipto Mangunkusumo National Hospital (RSCM), there is no comprehensive frailty prevention clinic in the geriatric inpatient clinics. This research can be the base of frailty and sarcopenia treatment in RSCM.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Frailty Status
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The FRAIL scale includes 5 components: Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illness, and Loss of weight (10). Frail scale scores range from 0-5 (i.e., 1 point for each component; 0=best to 5=worst) and represent frail (3-5), pre-frail (1-2), and robust (0) health status
12 weeks
Sarcopenia Status
Time Frame: 12 weeks

Measured using:

  • BIA: <7.0 kg/m2 in men and <5.7 kg/m2 in women
  • Five times sit to stand: ≥12 seconds
  • Hand-grip strength: <28 kg for men and <18 kg for women
12 weeks
Walking Speed
Time Frame: 12 weeks
<1.0 m/s
12 weeks
Patient's Quality of Life
Time Frame: 12 weeks
Measured by EQ-5D: ranging from 0 ('worst imaginable health') to 100 ('best imaginable health')
12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Prevalence of Frailty
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The FRAIL scale includes 5 components: Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illness, and Loss of weight (10). Frail scale scores range from 0-5 (i.e., 1 point for each component; 0=best to 5=worst) and represent frail (3-5), pre-frail (1-2), and robust (0) health status
12 weeks
Prevalence of Sarcopenia
Time Frame: 12 weeks

Measured using:

  • BIA: <7.0 kg/m2 in men and <5.7 kg/m2 in women
  • Five times sit to stand: ≥12 seconds
  • Hand-grip strength: <28 kg for men and <18 kg for women
12 weeks
