Frailty Syndrome of Post-cancer Treatment Eldery Patients

evaluation of predicitive variables of frailty syndrome reversion

The criterion determining the frail status is the Fried score classified into 3 categories: not frail; pre-frail; frail. A change from frail to pre-frail or to not frail will be considered as an improvement. Measurements of the Frailty score and other markers on nutrition and APA will be carried out at month 0 (basic measurements), then measured at month 6 (end of APA and nutritionist support) and at month12 (6 months after empowerment). All of health markers collected during the basic assessment, changes in parameters (month 6) and compliance with APA and nutrition support (from Month 1 to Month 6 then between Month 6 and Month 12) will be tested as variables potentially predictive of an improvement in the frailty syndrome.

Time frame: Month 0, 6 and 12

Correlations between physical performance and frailty syndrome and their evolutions

measurement of VO2peak + ventilatory thresholds measured in a stress test, muscle strength/endurance (number of chair raises for 30 seconds), walking speed (10-meter walking test, 6-minute walk test), balance (Tinette score), coordination (functional mobility test), cardio-respiratory endurance (heart rate measurement in relation to pedaling power)

Time frame: Month 0, 6 and 12

Change from baseline nutritional status during nutritionist support (month 3 and 6) and at the end of empowerment (month 12)

nutritional parameters measured at each time frame for weight, VAS appetite score, MNA score, nutritional calculation (food survey and self-questionnaire), bio impedancemetry and biomarkers of nutrition (levels of albumin, prealbumin, C reactive protein, CBC, liver and kidney function)
