About this trial

This is an interventional other trial for Disease, Pulmonary

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion criteria:

  • Referred for pulmonary rehabilitation
  • consenting to research

Exclusion criteria:

-Under 18 years of age

Sites / Locations

  • Mayo Clinic in Rochester

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Other

Arm Label

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Arm Description

One arm study - all participants will go to pulmonary rehabilitation, received questionnaires, Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scans, Dynamometer and gait speed tests and activity measured through an activity monitor.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Frailty Phenotype at Baseline and 6 Months
Frailty phenotype is 3 or more of: slow gait speed, exhaustion, decreased hand grip strength, decreased activity level, or wasting. Grip strength parameters, gait speed, exhaustion per Fried et al. 2001. Wasting is defined as further decrease in fat free mass by body composition measurement using DEXA. Low physical activity would be activity monitor in lower quartile.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Wasting
DXA measurement of body mass index pre- and post- PR.
Change in Strength
Change in Grip Strength as measured by hand dynamometer.
Change in Gait Speed
gait speed test measured over 15 feet
Improvement in Exhaustion
Self-reported exhaustion - measured by two questions in the Center for the Epidemiological Studies in Depression (CES-D) scale and reported as a dichotomous variable (exhausted or not exhausted).
Change in Physical Activity Level
Measured by Body Media armband activity monitor using total energy expenditure divided by the resting metabolic rate

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Frailty is a state of health with predisposition to adverse events, morbidity and mortality. Frailty consists of weakness, slowness, low physical activity, exhaustion, and wasting. Frailty is associated with increased hospitalizations and death in lung disease. It is unknown if pulmonary rehabilitation will improve frailty markers.
Detailed Description
Individuals referred to pulmonary rehabilitation will be examined for frailty markers. After completing pulmonary rehabilitation, the same tests will be performed. The effects of pulmonary rehabilitation will be examined.
