The impact of outdoor walking interventions on frailty among older adults with mobility limitations: Findings from the Getting Older Adults Outdoors (GO-OUT) study
A short-term reduction in frailty was observed in older adults with mobility limitations following participation in behavioural interventions aimed at improving outdoor walking; neither intervention was superior. Supervised outdoor walk group and telephone weekly reminder interventions to increase outdoor walking may have the potential to mitigate frailty in older adults with mobility limitations.
