概要 This study attempts to determine whether a program focusing on improving literacy in daily living is effective in preventing physical frailty and to compare standard treatments for physical frailty. Methods: This study was designed as a pilot intervention study involving two groups. Twenty-five older adults aged 65 to 85 in Ward A, Tokyo, were randomly assigned to the literacy group or the exercise group on a regional basis and were given a 60- to 90-min program twice a month, eight times over four months. The literacy group mainly used video materials for moni-toring learning, and the exercise group used a multifactor exercise program. Results: The LSI-Z, GAS-L, Maximum 5m walking time, and TUG showed main effects before and after the interven-tion in both groups (p < 0.05, p < 0.01). WHOQOL26, Maximum 5m walking time, and TUG test also showed main effects across both groups (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Both programs, when imple-mented independently, showed specific effects on subjective well-being, occupational performance, and physical fitness. However, QOL and physical fitness were significantly higher in the exercise group than in the literacy group. These results should be considered with caution because of the limited sample size of this pilot study. (Impact Factor 4.614)
