| Title: | A blended lifestyle intervention to preserve lean mass, muscle strength, exercise tolerance and quality of life in multi-morbid older people |
| Project Description: | Multi-morbidity, the coexistence of two or more long-term medical conditions, (1) has wide ranging negative impacts on patients’ lives. (2) A James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnership involving multi-morbid older adults identified promotion of independence and physical well-being as key priorities. (3) Yet interventions tested are often focused on single underlying disease pathway; and salutogenic approaches that use best practice and support health and well-being by working with the patients’ are missing. This study seeks to test a multi-component intervention in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), who typify the multi-morbid older adult. |
