Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Body Composition

measuring machine: Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) estimates body composition of fat and lean tissue.

Time frame: Change gram, kg and percentage from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)

body weight

Weighing scales in kilograms

Time frame: Change kg from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)

BMI

kg/m2

Time frame: Change from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)

hand grip

Jamar Handgrip Dynamometer

Time frame: Change from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)

hand pinch

Lafayette Hydraulic Pinch Gauge 5030P1

Time frame: Change kg from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)

Activities of daily living

Functional Independence Measure (FIM) included 18 items, covering 6 situations in the burden of personal care, specifically self-care, mobility, transfers, sphincter management, communication, and social cognition. A high score indicates better function.

Time frame: Change score from baseline to follow up (12 weeks later)

Quality of Life

Short Form 8 health survey (SF8)included the items focusing on physical and mental health; EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D) includes the EQ-visual analogue scale (VAS) and the EQ-5D descriptive system. EQ-VAS documents the participant's self-reported health on a VAS of 100-0. The EQ-5D-3L descriptive system consists of five dimensions, namely mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, all with three function levels (no problem = 1; some problems = 2; severe problems = 3)
