Overview

Pilot pre–post-intervention study improves physical performance and reduces sarcopenia risk in urban elderly populations, suggesting a community-level approach is beneficial.

Key Points

  • To assess the effectiveness of the OPA-OMA program in preventing sarcopenia among urban elderly populations.
  • Pilot pre–post-intervention study conducted over 3 months in Jakarta with 41 participants aged ≥ 60 years.
  • Intervention included biweekly group education, structured exercise, nutritional counseling, acupressure, and psychological support.
  • Outcomes measured included muscle mass, SPPB scores, and SARC-F scores at baseline and post-intervention.
  • Participants improved physical performance with increased SPPB scores and decreased SARC-F scores.
  • Muscle mass showed a favorable trend post-intervention.
  • Health parameters such as blood pressure and metabolic indicators improved following the intervention.
