Key Points

To evaluate the impact of exercise interventions on physical function in older adults with varying risks of functional decline.
Conducted a randomized trial with community-dwelling older adults
Utilized exercise interventions focusing on improving physical function
Assessed risks of functional decline before and after intervention.
Exercise intervention led to significant improvements in physical function across all risk groups
Challenges in maintaining optimal body composition were noted
Nutritional interventions are suggested to enhance outcomes.

Abstract

Exercise intervention improves physical function regardless of the risk of functional decline. However, certain challenges in maintaining body composition have been observed, suggesting the need for nutritional interventions. J. Med. Invest. 73 : 143-152, February, 2026.
