Abstract：
Few exercise interventions target ethnic minority older adults, especially those with disability. We evaluated feasibility of newly-developed finger/hand exercises to promote health in ethnically diverse older adults with/without disability. We conducted 10-minute video exercises daily, supervised by research assistants. The feasibility, evaluated via three studies, focused on recruitment, intervention fidelity, safety, outcome assessment, and acceptability. Studies varied in design and delivery methods, being conducted across settings (senior centers, apartments). We enrolled 101 Chinese older adults (mean age = 72) without disability in Study 1, and 15 older Africans/Hispanics with disability (mean age = 70) in Studies 2 and 3. Intervention, either in-person or online, was implementable and acceptable with high fidelity. Attendance was satisfactory (79.6%, 74.2%, 76.7%) and attrition was low (12%, 0%, 0%). Outcome measures data was ascertained. No adverse events were observed. Preliminary findings indicate feasibility, acceptability, and safety of the simple finger/hand exercise for diverse older adults.
摘要：
很少有针对少数民族老年人的运动干预措施，尤其是那些有残疾的人。我们评估了新开发的手指/手锻炼以促进有/无残疾的种族不同老年人健康的可行性。我们每天进行10分钟的视频练习，由研究助理监督。可行性,通过三项研究评估，专注于招聘，干预保真度，安全,结果评估，和可接受性。设计和交付方法的研究各不相同，跨设置进行(高级中心，公寓)。我们在研究1中纳入了101名没有残疾的中国老年人（平均年龄=72），在研究2和3中纳入了15名残疾的非洲/西班牙裔老年人（平均年龄=70）。干预,亲自或在线，是可实现和可接受的高保真度。出勤率令人满意(79.6%，74.2%,76.7%)，磨损率较低(12%，0%,0%)。结果指标数据已确定。没有观察到不良事件。初步调查结果表明是可行的，可接受性,和安全的简单的手指/手锻炼不同的老年人。
