Registry summary

The primary aim is to assess the effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention including dual-task exercise in improving functionality and cognitive performance and in reducing frailty among community-dwelling adults aged ≥65 years compared to usual care. Secondary objectives include evaluating its impact on pain, anxiety or depression, sleep quality, quality of life, physical activity, handgrip strength, and polypharmacy.

A double-blind, randomized, parallel-group controlled trial will be conducted in primary care centers in Lleida. Frail older adults (≥65 years) will be recruited and randomly allocated to either the intervention group, receiving a structured cognitive-motor dual-task based multicomponent program, or the control group, receiving usual care. Outcomes will be assessed using validated tools at baseline and follow-up.
