What this Trial Is About

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the +AGIL Barcelona program in helping older adults improve their physical abilities and delay disability. It will also explore how to adapt and expand the program to different neighborhoods in Barcelona. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the +AGIL program improve physical abilities, as measured by a simple physical performance test (SPPB)? How well can the program be adapted and implemented in different community health centers? Researchers will conduct the study in three community health centers in Barcelona, following a stepped approach to gradually introduce the program at each site. Participants will: Participate in up to 10 weekly group exercise sessions led by a physiotherapist. Focus on strength, balance, flexibility, and endurance. Exercises will be tailored to individual needs and supported with easy-to-understand materials. Receive advice on healthy habits like eating a Mediterranean diet, improving sleep, and managing swallowing or memory issues. Get support to connect with local activities and resources to reduce loneliness and stay active, such as community centers or fitness programs. Have their medications reviewed by healthcare professionals to ensure they are appropriate and safe. The program will be personalized based on each participant's needs. This study will provide valuable information on implementing practical programs that help older adults stay healthy and independent.
