The Effect of Salutogenic Model Based Frailty Prevention Program on Development of Frailty and Sense of Coherence in Women Aged 55 Years and Over

Frailty is a condition of reduced the capacity in multiple body systems and causing adverse outcomes because of decreasing the ability to cope with stressors. Female sex, the changes of the body imposed by ageing, and coping strategies for stressors are causal mechanisms in the development of frailty.

The aim of this project is to assess the effect of Salutogenic Frailty Prevention Program on promoting sense of coherence and preventing the development of frailty in women aged 55 years and over
