Development steps of multimodal exercise interventions for older adults with multimorbidity: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Multicomponent exercise interventions are recommended for older adults and for those with chronic diseases. While multiple programs have been tested, no one has yet explored how these programs were developed. This review set out to determine what development steps multicomponent exercise intervention studies that include older adults with multimorbidity have taken.

Methods

Systematic review and narrative synthesis.

Results

One hundred and thirty-eight studies meeting review criteria (Population: adults ≥60 years with multimorbidity; Intervention: exercise interventions with ≥2 components; Comparator: any considered; Outcome: any considered) were retrieved. Most studies (70%) do not report intervention development actions
