Description
"Elderly persons in the risk zone" is a health-promoting and preventive intervention study. The intention was that the study group should comprise a representative sample of pre-frail 80-year old persons still living at home in two municipalities of Gothenburg: The participants should live in their ordinary housing and not be dependent on the municipal home help service or care. Further, they should be independent of help from another person in activities of daily living and be cognitively intact, having a score of 25 or higher as assessed with the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE).
The participants were randomised to three study groups: two intervention groups and one control group.
- Intervention A; Senior meetings and one follow-up home visit
- Intervention B; Preventive home visit
- Control group
459 persons were included in the study, 171 in intervention A, 174 in intervention B and 114 in the control group. All participants received a first visit that comprised an interview, assessment and observation. The first visit, i.e.the baseline interview, was performed in the participant's
