Outcome measures
Primary outcome
We will use two primary outcome measures: 1. Late-Life Function and Disability
Instrument (LLFDI), to measure function and disability in the young older
adults. 2. Complexity Metric, to assess behavioural complexity in the domains
of physical activity, sleep, and social participation.
Secondary outcome
Various secundary parameters will be collected during the RCT.
Background summary
There is an urgent need for innovative solutions to prevent functional decline
and inactivity at older age. The PreventIT project focuses on a new behavioural
change activity approach for young older adults (61-70 years of age) with an
overall aim to shift focus from treatment of conditions and diseases to early
prevention and to empower people to take care of their own health. For
enhancement of these aims, an unobtrusive mobile health system is developed and
tested.
Study objective
To evaluate the feasibility and usability of the adapted Lifestyle-integrated
Functional Exercise Programme (aLiFE) and the enhanced LiFE (eLiFE)
intervention, versus a control group, in a population of young old adults
(61-70 years) at three sites: Stuttgart, Amsterdam, and Trondheim.
Study design
12-months randomized controlled trial.
Intervention
The aLiFE intervention is a lifestyle-integrated functional exercise program
adapted to young older adults. The eLiFE intervention is a lifestyle-integrated
functional exercise programme to young older adults delivered as an ICT-based
intervention (smartphone and smartwatch).
Study burden and risks
The risk during the aLiFE and eLiFE training is estimated to be small,
particularly given the young old population. Participants of our RCT may
benefit from the intervention in terms of improving their functional
performance and increasing their physical activity, although this is not the
primary aim of this feasibility study.

Inclusion criteria
We will include community-dwelling adults aged 61-70 years, who have been retired for more than 6 months, are able to speak Dutch, are able to walk for 500 metres without walking aid and are available for home visits in the first 6 weeks following inclusion.
Exclusion criteria
we exclude people that are too active (participating in exercise class > 1 time per week, or on their own * 150 minutes per week), that have travels planned for > 2 months during the intervention period, with cognitive impairment (MOCA <24 points) and are suffering from various medical comorbidities where exercise is contraindicated.
