Key Points

  • This research aims to assess the effects of multi-domain interventions on frailty and related functional and cognitive outcomes in elderly individuals.
  • Conducted a systematic review of existing literature.
  • Focused on comparisons between multi-domain and mono-domain interventions in frail elderly populations.
  • Evaluated the contributions of specific intervention designs.
  • Evidence suggests multi-domain interventions may improve frailty and cognitive status.
  • Limited data indicates potential benefits overall, but further study is necessary to establish definitive outcomes.

Abstract

Evidence of beneficial effects of multi-domain compared to mono-domain interventions is limited but increasing. Additional studies are needed, focusing on a well-defined frail population and with specific attention to the design and the individual contribution of mono-domain interventions. This will contribute to the development of more effective interventions for frail elderly.
