Abstract
Background: Cognitive frailty, intimately tied to adverse outcomes such as falls, early mortality, and hospitalization, represents a dynamic, reversible process. Multicomponent exercise has emerged as one of the most potent means of mitigating cognitive frailty.
Aims: This research seeks to quantitively amalgamate the effects of multicomponent exercise on various domains: cognitive function, frailty status, and other health-related outcomes in cognitively frail older adults.
Methods: Our methodology entailed a comprehensive review of literature in databases including PubMed, EMbase, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang, Sinomed, VIP, and CNKI from the inception of these databases to December 10, 2023. For our statistical analysis, we utilized RevMan 5.3, Stata 17.0 and R 4.3.2 software. Adherence was maintained to the PRISMA checklist, with the study being registered with PROSPERO (CRD42024499808).
Results: Our review encapsulated a total of 2,222 participants and 11 trials. The findings intimate that multicomponent exercise enhances cognitive function [MD = 2.52, p = 0.03]), grip strength[SMD = 0.39, p = 0.008] and lower limb muscle strength[MD = 4.30, p < 0.001], while alleviating frailty[MD = -2.21, p < 0.001] and depression [MD = -1.20, p = 0.001]. However, cogent evidence is still lacking to endorse the positive effects of multicomponent exercises on both ADL(p = 0.19) and quality of life(p = 0.16). Subgroup analyses revealed beneficial effects on cognitive frailty for multicomponent exercise whose type of exercise consisted of aerobic, the duration of which exceeded 120 min per week, and whose form of exercise was group exercise.
Conclusion: Multicomponent exercises offer significant improvements in cognitive function, muscle strength, and have the added benefit of reducing frailty and depression in older adults. However, these exercises do not appear to influence activities of daily living and quality of life positively.
期刊介绍:
rchives of Public Health is a broad scope public health journal, dedicated to publishing all sound science in the field of public health. The journal aims to better the understanding of the health of populations. The journal contributes to public health knowledge, enhances the interaction between research, policy and practice and stimulates public health monitoring and indicator development. The journal considers submissions on health outcomes and their determinants, with clear statements about the public health and policy implications. Archives of Public Health welcomes methodological papers (e.g., on study design and bias), papers on health services research, health economics, community interventions, and epidemiological studies dealing with international comparisons, the determinants of inequality in health, and the environmental, behavioural, social, demographic and occupational correlates of health and diseases.
