Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Measured at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks: 1. Muscle strength and power in arms and legs measured with load cell and lineal encoder: 1.1. Voluntary isometric strength test 1.2. Rate of force production 2. Mobility (habitual and maximal walking velocity ) measured by 10-meter walk test 3. Daily physical activity measured by Global Physical activity questionnaire 4. Fall risk (mobility and balance) measured by Timed Up and Go test 5. Strength of the lower extremities measured by Chair Raise Test 6. Functional autonomy measured by GDAM battery test, SPPB battery test and grip strength 7. Mediterranean diet adherence measured by Mediterranean diet questionnaire 8. Nutritional status assessed by Mini Nutritional Assessment 9. Blood pressure measured by a digital monitor and blood biochemistry measured by Alele Afinion analyzer	—
