SHIP-AGE: Frailty, renal function, and multi-component primary care in rural Mecklenburg-West Pomerania (MV-FIT)- study protocol
SHIP-AGE/MV-FIT will clarify CKD's role in frailty progression and identify mechanisms underlying frailty and pre-frailty. Additionally, the study aims to implement and evaluate multi-component healthcare strategies for frailty and fall prevention, assess patient adherence and quality of life, and explore elderly individuals' experiences with primary care interventions. By integrating SHIP-AGE data with findings from the SHIP (Study of Health in Pomerania) cohorts in our region, this research will contribute to evidence-based strategies for maintaining health, independence, and well-being in aging populations, particularly in rural primary care settings, such as Mecklenburg-West Pomerania.
