Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The short term primary outcome (at 3 and 6 months) is Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) including habitual walking speed, chair rise and balance tests. One year primary outcome will be mobility limitation and disability.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Measured at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months: 1. Maximal and habitual walking speed over 10 metres 2. Isometric muscle strength for knee extension and leg extension power, assessed from both sides 3. Functional balance, assessed by Berg Balance Scale 4. Fear of falling, assessed by Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale 5. Pain, assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and questionnaire 6. Functional capacity, assessed by validated questionnaire 7. Level of physical activity, assessed by a questionnaire 8. Information concerning use of formal and informal care 9. Bone density and geometry measured for lower leg 10. Depressive mood (Beck Depression Inventory [BDI]) Measured at baseline, 6 and 12 months: 11. Bone density and geometry measured for arm Measured at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 months and 24 months (12 month follow-up): 12. Form of dwelling, collected by a questionnaire and health and social service registers
