Dose-response Effect of Community Dance Programme

The goal of this interventional study is to examine the dose-response effect of Community Dance Programme (CDP) on the physical, cognitive and psychological health of pre-frail and mildly frail community-dwelling older adults. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Hypothesis 1: Two sessions of CDP per week (75 minutes each) significantly increase the physical outcomes (i.e. CFS, EFS, SPPB, grip strength) of community-dwelling older adults as compared to one session of CDP per week.

Hypothesis 2: Two sessions of CDP per week significantly improve the cognitive outcomes (i.e. MoCA, SDMT) of community-dwelling older adults as compared to one session of CDP per week.

Hypothesis 3: Two sessions of CDP per week significantly improve the psychosocial outcomes (i.e. WHOQOL-OLD, De Jong Giervald Loneliness Scale, GPIC scale, SHS, SSQ) of community-dwelling older adults as compared to one session of CDP per week.

Intervention: The participants will be asked to attend two sessions of CDP per week for 12 weeks at their respective Active Ageing Centres (AACs).

Active control: The participants will be asked to attend one session of CDP per week for 12 weeks AACs.

* The participants will be asked to go to the AACs at baseline and after 12 weeks of CDP intervention for the collection of data. * The participants will be asked to wear fitness trackers to track their heart rates during the CDP sessions to ensure that the dance curriculum is kept within the moderate intensity.
