Healthy Older Adults Through Movement and Engagement

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Frailty, Ageing Well, Prevention Intervention, Health Related Quality of Life

In brief

The HOME Project evaluates the effects of structured health dialogues with individuals aged 67-84 years in the municipality of Borgholm, Sweden. A combination of registry data and survey responses will be used to monitor quality of life, morbidity, healthcare needs, and lifestyle factors over a six-year period. Outcomes will be compared between randomized groups within Borgholm municipality and a matched control group from seven other municipalities in Region Kalmar. The project also includes an analysis of cost-effectiveness and the reach of the intervention. A qualitative interview study will explore participants' perceptions of their health, their motivations for health improvement, and their experiences of how the health dialogues may influence these aspects. In a substudy, machine learning models will be developed to predict functional decline and high healthcare needs among older adults. These models will be validated against established risk assessment tools such as the Adjusted Clinical Groups (ACG) system and the Charlson Comorbidity Index. Digital motion analysis using Skeleton Avatar Technology will be employed both independently and in combination with other variables to support model development.
