Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Body Composition | Change gram, kg and percentage from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later) | measuring machine: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) estimates body composition of fat and lean tissue. |
| body weight | Change kg from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later) | Weighing scales in kilograms |
| BMI | Change from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later) | kg/m2 |
| hand grip | Change from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later) | Jamar Handgrip Dynamometer |
| hand pinch | Change kg from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later) | Lafayette Hydraulic Pinch Gauge 5030P1 |
| Activities of daily living | Change score from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later) | Functional Independence Measure (FIM) included 18 items, covering 6 situations in the burden of personal care, specifically self-care, mobility, transfers, sphincter management, communication, and social cognition. A high score indicates better function. |
| Quality of Life | Change score from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later) | Short Form 8 health survey (SF8)included the items focusing on physical and mental health; EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) includes the EQ-visual analogue scale (VAS) and the EQ-5D descriptive system. EQ-VAS documents the participant's self-reported health on a VAS of 100-0. The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system consists of five dimensions, namely mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, all with three function levels (no problem = 1; some problems = 2; severe problems = 3) |
