DiaActive protocol: A randomized controlled trial of cognitive‐motor multicomponent exercise to reduce fall rate in older adults with diabetes
Study context
- Population
- Adults aged ≥65 years with T1D or T2D and low-to-moderate fall risk220 T1D, 220 T2D
- Participants
- 440 adults
- Planned comparison
- Cognitive-motor multicomponent exercise vs usual care
- Primary endpoint
- Fall rate during the intervention, assessed using weekly fall calendars
- Follow-up
- 26 weeks
Methodological detailssingle-centre, stratified, parallel-group, randomized 1:1 within diabetes type, Follow-up to 104 weeks; registry-based outcomes at 5 years, Planned secondary outcomes: balance, fall-related outcomes, BMD, fractures, neuropathy progression, cardiovascular risk markers, muscle strength, cognitive function
