Abstract

Objective: The present study aimed to examine the relationship between physical pre-frailty and each factor among the older adults who participate in “Kayoino-Ba”.

Methods: This cross-sectional study used the data of 188 older adults who participated in “Kayoino-Ba” at 13 locations, excluding those with physical frailty. Logistic regression analysis was conducted, with physical pre-frailty as the objective variable and the basic attributes of the physical, psychological, and social aspects as the explanatory variables.

Results: Of the total subjects, physical pre-frailty 54.3%, non-pre-frailty 45.7%, both groups showed more than 60% of new exercise after participating in the “Kayoino-Ba”. Factors that were significantly associated with physical pre-frailty were fall anxiety, cognitive items on the Kihon Checklist, and 30-second chair-stand test.

Conclusions: It is important to focus on the assessment of fear of falling and cognitive function in addition to standing up and sitting down movements in the physically pre-frailty older adults who participate in the “Kayoino-Ba”.
