What it does not prove
- This is a protocol description, not a results report; no efficacy data are available to evaluate whether the intervention actually reduces falls or improves gait speed.
- The contribution of olive oil supplementation specifically cannot be isolated from the multicomponent intervention (exercise plus diet counselling plus supplementation), so whether EVOO adds benefit beyond exercise is unknown.
- Sample size and effect sizes are not reported, preventing assessment of statistical power or magnitude of benefit.

Abstract or registry material supplied for assessment; source version 2. This is not a claim of full-text review.
VIVI-OLIVE is a multicenter randomized clinical trial evaluating whether a 24-month intervention combining an individualized multicomponent exercise program (VIVIFRAIL), Mediterranean diet counselling, and supplementation with 60 mL/day of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) can improve physical function and reduce fall risk in adults aged 75 years or older at high risk of falls.
Participants will be randomly assigned to either the VIVI-OLIVE intervention or a control group following the VIVIFRAIL multicomponent exercise program.
The main outcome is change in usual gait speed, which is an indicator of physical function and fall risk in older adults. Other outcomes include intrinsic capacity, functional independence, quality of life, muscle strength and sarcopenia, muscle characteristics, fear of falling, Mediterranean diet adherence, falls and fall-related consequences, and adherence to the study interventions.
