Multimorbidity patterns influence mobility disability prevention in frail older adults from the SPRINTT trial
Source: Nature Aging
What the research found
Study. Open-access analysis of the SPRINTT lifestyle trial: a multicomponent program aimed at mobility disability in frail older adults. Benefits were not uniform; people with psychiatric or unspecific multimorbidity patterns saw more consistent gains. Exercise and lifestyle remain clinician-guided when frailty or several diagnoses are present.
Evidence level: Human study. A study in people, but an association isn't proof of cause.
