Characterisation of Functional and Cognitive Responses Following Olfactory Stimulation and/or Functional Training in Older Adults. (INNOLFACT 2)
Characterisation of Functional and Cognitive Responses Following Olfactory Stimulation and/or Functional Training in Older Adults: A Randomised Clinical Trial
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effects of olfactory stimulation and/or multicomponent physical training in adults aged 60 years and older. Eligible participants will be cognitively normal, community-dwelling outpatients recruited from Primary Care and Geriatrics services. After baseline assessment, participants will be randomized to one of four groups: usual care, olfactory training/stimulation, multicomponent physical exercise, or combined olfactory and exercise intervention.
Primary and secondary assessments will include olfactory function, cognition, physical function, quality of life, nutritional status, mood, frailty, multimorbidity, polypharmacy, blood-based molecular biomarkers, and exhaled-air biomarkers.

Olfactory Function (Sniffin' Sticks Test - TDI Score)
時間枠:Baseline and Day 30
|
Olfactory performance will be assessed using the Sniffin' Sticks Test (SST), providing a composite Threshold, Discrimination, and Identification (TDI) score.
Odorants will be presented using CE-marked pen devices approximately 2 cm in front of both nostrils for 2 seconds.
The Sniffin Sticks Score ranges from 0 (worst) to 48 (best).
Normative values: less than or equal 15 = Functional Anosmia; 16 - 30 = Hyposmia; 31 - 48 = Normosmia.
|
Baseline and Day 30
|
|
Physical Function
時間枠:Baseline and Day 30
|
Physical Function: Assessed using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), which combines balance, gait velocity, and leg strength as a single score on a 0 (worst) to 12 (best scale).

Mini-Cog - Quick Screening for early dementia detection
時間枠:Baseline and day 30

Quality of life (QoL)
時間枠:Baseline and Day 30

Measurment of quality of life using EQ5D-3L, the patients indicate their health state by choosing one level for each of the five dimensions, creating a 5-digit code representing 243 possible health states.
EQ VAS, includes a vertical Visual Analogue Scale (0-100) where patients rate their self-rated health, with 100 being the "best imaginable health state".
Utility.
The responses can be converted into a single index value (utility score) using country-specific valuation sets, where 1 represents full health and 0 represents death.

Assessed using the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics (CIRS-G) alongside ICD-10 classification provides a robust, comprehensive, and validated method for assessing multicomorbidity in older adults, addressing both the structural burden of disease and its functional severity.
Total scores can range from 0 to 64.
The CIRS-G Severity Index (total score divided by the number of organ systems involved) provides an estimate of the overall severity of dysfunction.
System Coverage rates 14 organ systems (e.g., cardiac, vascular, respiratory, psychiatric) on a severity scale from 0 (no problem) to 4 (Extremely severe).
