Background. Although disuse of skeletal muscle and undernutrition are often cited as potentially reversible causes of frailty in elderly people, the efficacy of interventions targeted specifically at these deficits has not been carefully studied.Methods. We conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled trial comparing progressive resistance exercise training, multinutrient supplementation, both interventions, and neither in 100 frail nursing home residents over a 10-week period.Results. The mean (+/-SE) age of the 63 women and 37 men enrolled in the study was 87.1+/-0.6 years (range, 72 to 98); 94 percent of the subjects completed the study. Muscle strength increased by 113+/-8 percent in the subjects who underwent exercise training, as compared with 3+/-9 percent in the nonexercising subjects (P
