Evidence for frailty interventions utilizing existing services within primary healthcare structure is limited. The PromeTheus trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a home\u2010based, multifactorial, interdisciplinary intervention to prevent functional and mobility decline in (pre)frail older adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In this multicentre, assessor\u2010blinded, randomized controlled trial, 385 community\u2010dwelling (pre)frail older adults (clinical frailty scale 4\u20136, \u2265\u200970\u2009years) were randomly allocated (1:1) into the intervention group (IG:\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009196) or control group (CG:\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009189). The IG underwent the PromeTheus programme for 12\u2009months, which included an obligatory unsupervised home\u2010based physical exercise programme and facultative counselling services (person\u2010environment fit, nutrition and coping with everyday life), implemented through existing healthcare services and referral to community group activities. The CG received usual care. The first primary outcome was the function component of the Late\u2010Life Function and Disability Instrument (LLFDI\u2010FC) after 12\u2009months; Life\u2010Space Assessment (LSA) served as the second primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included participation (short\u2010form LLFDI disability component, LLFDI\u2010DC), frailty status, physical capacity (Short Physical Performance Battery, SPPB) and fall rate. Data analyses followed the intention\u2010to\u2010treat principle. An exploratory stratified analysis according to baseline physical capacity (SPPB \u2264\u20096 points [\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009210] vs. SPPB &gt;\u20096 points [\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009175]) was also conducted.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Participants had a mean age of 81.2\u2009\u00b1\u20095.9\u2009years, with 73.5% (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u2009283) being female. At the 12\u2010month follow\u2010up, a significant between\u2010group difference in favour of the IG was observed for the change in the LLFDI\u2010FC (1.38 points, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.08, 2.68) but not for the change in the LSA (0.49 points, 95% CI \u20133.65, 4.64). Change in frailty status (odds ratio for being in a \u2018better\u2019 change status 1.72, 95% CI 1.11, 2.64) and SPPB (0.58 points, 95% CI 0.10, 1.05) also showed significant between\u2010group differences in favour of the IG.
