Reporter brief
RCT of combined protein, blueberry, and exercise intervention effects on frailty and CVD risk in older adults
What happened
The STRONG study is a randomized controlled trial proposing to test whether a year-long combined intervention of dietary protein, blueberries, and exercise reduces frailty and cardiovascular disease risk in older at-risk adults in Nova Scotia. The study aims to address gaps in prior frailty research by including adequate sample size, balanced sex representation, and testing synergistic effects of multiple lifestyle modifications on both frailty and cardiovascular outcomes. No results or findings from the study are reported in this abstract.
