TL;DR
This study explores how chronic kidney disease affects frailty in older adults in rural Germany and tests strategies to prevent frailty.
Contribution
The study introduces a multi-component primary care program to prevent frailty in elderly individuals with chronic kidney disease.
Findings
The study will clarify the role of CKD in frailty progression.
It will evaluate multi-component healthcare strategies for frailty and fall prevention.
Findings will contribute to evidence-based strategies for aging populations in rural primary care.
Abstract
Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality among older adults. Mecklenburg-West Pomerania has the highest CKD prevalence in Germany and Europe, however, its impact on frailty prevention strategies in primary care remains poorly understood. The SHIP-AGE/MV-FIT study aims to investigate the role of CKD in frailty incidence. Methods. The SHIP-AGE/MV-FIT cohort is a prospective, longitudinal, population-based observational study targeting individuals ≥ 65 years with mGFR >30 mL/min. The cohort will consist of approximately 820 elderly participants who will be monitored over a three-year period. They will undergo a comprehensive, multi-factorial geriatric assessment, along with a structured monitoring and management program aimed at preventing frailty. The program incorporates evidence-based, multi-component care,…
